History

Teno. Holdings traces its origins to July 5, 1999, when Hiroko Ikeuchi founded Yugen Kaisha Do It. In April 2001, the company opened its first self-operated kids room, Kids Room Ropponmatsu.

In September 2005, the company changed its name to Teno. Corporation, and in October 2005 it opened Teno. School. An Okinawa branch was established in April 2006, and a Tokyo head office in August 2009. In April 2010, it opened its first licensed nursery school in Kyushu as a corporation, as well as a Tokyo certified nursery school and a Kanagawa certified nursery school. The headquarters moved again in July 2011 to Kamigofukumachi, Hakata-ku, and the Tokyo head office moved to Akasaka, Minato-ku in October 2012.
