How NOCILIS began…?
The Idea from where Nocilis was born.
In Osaka Japan – A conversation between a Mother and an Educator:
“I put my first child, a one-year to the childcare center. One day I was late in fetching her. When I arrived, I saw the nursery school teacher tidying up the toys in the centre. I was very impressed with how meticulous she was in disinfecting the toys, one by one, piece by piece. She cleaned not just the outside part, but also the inside of each piece. I asked her why she had to make such a tedious effort. She answered, “If the toys are not disinfected well, they will become the source of outbreak of infectious diseases amongst the children…” She added that she also checked if each toy is damaged, of if there is any cracking and chipping.
I became more curious and asked how she would do in her own home if she has a child. This was her reply…
Once a child starts to drool, hygiene becomes even more important. Right after the child plays the toys, disinfection must be done. Yet often, every mum is overloaded by too many menial chores and tend to neglect or overlook this.
Yet, it is normal that every mum is overloaded by too many menial chores! So if those toys are compatible to boiled water disinfection and easy to clean by hands, it helps a lot!”
Thus NOCLIIS was born.
NOCILIS has since evolved from a simple hygiene idea of a Japanese mother to help busy Mummies at home and responsible Educators in schools, to a revolutionary advanced tool for education and playtime.
Today NOCILIS is not only for a child! Seniors and elderly enjoy the use and are motivated to participate in activities. Japan is known to have an aging population. NOCILIS has become a tool for Senior Care Recreation, with the aim for a fun and joyful session. Being light, NOCILIS makes it easier for seniors and elderly to pick up, stack, change the shape, at the same time, a way to exercise their finger and hand movements. You would be surprised on how creative one can be with NOCILIS.
