Task-K I is a community building mobile application to help working parents build trusted communities around their children's childcare facilities. "It is like having your parent nearby to help when you need it most".
Task-K I villages flourish when each member in the village takes personal responsibility to get to know other members, and takes initiative to help others. Task-K I villages thrive in an environment where members highly value empathy and care for the well-being of others.
Through use of the Task-K I mobile application, parents become part of a supportive community where trust and reciprocity help to lessen stress, save families money and further enrich children’s lives. Task-K I builds communities by allowing you to ask another parent from the same childcare facility to pick up your child on-time. As a reward, the parent who helped to pick up your child will receive points which can be redeemed for a pick-up request or other services offered by your or other parents in your childcare community. Do you need someone whom you can trust to babysit your child without breaking the bank, so that you and your partner can have a relaxing date night? Task-K I helps you to get that date night.
The Task-K I can be downloaded by invitation only. The app is avaiable for iPhones and Androids.
Task-K I was founded by Kanako Matsumoto ("Kanako" is pronounced "Conoco" as in ConocoPhillips), who is a working mom. She has worked as a certified public accountant for over 20 years in the public accounting industry, which like so many industries, has a very demanding work schedule.
As working parents, she and her husband placed their child in several childcare facilities over the years. They have often experienced stress from trying to pick up their child on-time from childcare facilities due to heavy traffic or demanding work schedules.They often wished if only one of their mothers or fathers were there to help.
Kanako also believes it is so important for parents to have their own alone-time to refresh and unwind to be effective parents, so that they can be emotionally available for their children. When parents are stressed, it negatively affects their children and their well-being suffers. Many parents choose not to take a break from their children because of the high costs associated with hiring a babysitter or not knowing individuals whom they can trust with their children.
Kanako is passionate about the philosophy that "it takes a village to raise a child." She grew up in an extended family of eight, including her grandmother and two uncles. While both of her parents worked to provide for her family, her grandmother, her uncles and neighbors helped to care for her and her siblings. She started thinking "what if she could emulate this extended family model by creating communities around childcare facilities." Her own experiences inspired her to create Task-K I. Kanko believes that Task-K I is one way to bring the philosophy of a village into reality.
Kanako named the app, "Task-K I," an adaptation of the Japanese word "Tasukeai” meaning "to help each other" or "to collaborate, allows our childcare facilities to become the "villages" of today.
