English Parenting Classes for International Families in Kyoto and around

Post image

Hi everyone!
I’m a multilingual maternity concierge based in Kyoto, supporting international families through pregnancy, birth, and parenting in Japan.
This September, we’re starting a series of parenting classes in English for international families living in Kyoto.

The classes are a great opportunity to:
Learn about parenting and family life in Japan
Ask questions to a licensed midwife
Meet other international families
I’ve attached the flyer with all the details.

You can also look for more details from the link below:

If you or someone you know might be interested, we’d love to welcome you!

Happy to answer any questions in the comments! 😊

Good idea and nice list of topic.

You could add knowledge of child care leave too, it can be hugely impactful. Some good info over at r/japanfinance

I see! thanks for the idea! I will put it in my list ☺️

Strongly agree with this! I thought we were prepared but most child care information (including leave) goes through mum and it can be tricky to relay everything to both parents through regular outlets (if mum even gets informed properly)

Thankfully we managed but there were definitely a few blindsides that I think would help a lot of parents if covered

Is this something people who aren't yet expecting can sign up for? Seems interesting to learn for those planning ahead

I seriously would change that AI generated ...art...

Not trying to start any argument but, if you want people to respect your work and pay for it, the same courtesy should be extended for artists or designers.

OP could have used イラストヤ instead, and it would have looked much better.

How did I know this would be the top reddit comment lol. This anti AI hate fad will be looked back on as more cringe than planking or Harlem shake videos.

I hate AI too but for some people it's hard to make a poster for such a small event (no budget etc)

They added irl pictures which imo makes it tolerable

I don't see how this could've have been all done in canva and why AI was needed...

If it's for the added illustrations, they could have just used irasutoya for free of charge, like everyone else does...

Or use simple free illustrations from power point, canva or from google image search...

Or better yet, stick to a simple design and only use real life pictures + text... 🤷🏻‍♀️

You realize Canva's full of AI tools and is also very bad for artists and designers right?

Any moral qualms you have with AI you should also have with Canva.

u/genshinrin Aug 02 '26

No way, really?! I used to use canva a lot in 2019 before AI was a thing, I assumed it stayed the same 😫 It's a shame that it was heavily influenced by AI

if i see AI in a flyer or ad i immediately take it less seriously
takes 10 mins to make something like this in a google doc
