In general, we leave the choice to mothers, but the first step is for the child to be able to understand and enjoy the picture book. The recommended age takes into account the child's level of understanding for that year, so we recommend books for the recommended age rather than jumping to a higher level. For children who may have difficulty focusing on books or storytelling, we suggest considering a course one level below. Of course, we also respect the choice of taking a higher-level course with the purpose of learning. Since each child's interest in picture books is unique, we suggest using the sample reading as a reference before making a decision.

No, you will need to choose your desired course for each fiscal year and make a new order. There will be no automatic continuation of payments. A fiscal year typically spans from April to March, covering 12 months. Staynative.us launched its service in the middle of the fiscal year 2023. Therefore, for this fiscal year, it will be from October to March, covering 6 months.

At the time of order, charges will occur. There will be no automatic renewal after the sixth charge. For instance, if you apply in September, charges will occur from September to February of the following year. The distribution of picture books will be from October to March of the following year.

In order to achieve a low price, we have been importing picture books from Japan for the past six months. Additionally, our pricing is tailored to the unique nature of our subscription service. As a result, we generally request applications based on a one-year subscription (for the 2023 fiscal year, it will be a six-month subscription). With the exception of sudden repatriation or other unforeseen circumstances, we have implemented a three-month cancellation period. However, please note that since the subscription is valid until March, if you notify us in January or February, it will be valid until the end of March. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. (This is to evenly distribute the costs for six months between you and Staynative). Thank you.
