Abstract(in English) For improvement of care and education in ECEC settings, frequent and effective communications with families are definitely important. However, it appeared that communications with families might be a trigger of job burden staffs. Recently, the use of ICT tools in ECEC settings is promoted in order to reduce staffs’ job burden. However, these promotions towards using ICT tools are not fully applied in communications with parents. In this study, we surveyed the trends in use of ICT and other tools between staffs and families in Japanese ECEC settings, towards utilization of ICT tools. It revealed that ICT tools (Websites, SNS/Smartphone applications, Mails/Mailing lists) are less likely to be used. We also found that there are there are some trends in the use of these tools depending on the types of ECEC settings (Day nursery, Kindergarten, etc.).
