A kindergarten will start a service, by which (kindergarten) uniforms can be borrowed from April next year. It’s a service that costs 500 yen every month for uniforms, etc., which is about 40% cheaper than buying (new ones). If a child grows up, uniform can be exchanged to a larger size. It reuses the uniforms of children who have graduated from the kindergarten. Parents, especially those with many kids, say it’s a good idea. ある幼稚園(ようちえん)で、来年(らいねん)4月(がつ)から、子(こ)どもの制服(せいふく)などを借(か)りることができるサービスを始(はじ)めます。 制服(せいふく)などを毎月(まいつき)500円で借(か)りられるサービスで、買(か)った場合(ばあい)より40％ぐらい安(やす)くなります。 子(こ)どもが大(おお)きくなった時(とき)は、大(おお)きいサイズに取(と)り替(か)えることもできます。卒業(そつぎょう)した子(こ)どもの制服(せいふく)をリサイクルします。とくに子(こ)どもが多(おお)い親(おや)は、いいアイデアだと言(い)っています。
