The council of 21 affiliated towns in East Osaka established Aishu Kindergarten in 1879 with the aim of making the effect of good child care known to the public at large. In an innovative move, the kindergarten recorded the attendance of children, provided medical examinations, and at the end of each month gave rewards to children with regular attendance to promote good attendance. The kindergarten made and reported attendance records even before being instructed by the East Osaka Ward Office to do so. In 1886, the town council voted for a "fair collection" method of nursery school fees based on attendance. This was authorized by the East Osaka Ward Office. In 1889, Osaka City administration was established and required the submission of attendance records going back to the previous year, which Aishu Kindergarten was able to provide without delay.
