It provides learning classes for developing capabilities to think for oneself for preschoolers, elementary, and junior high and high school students; piano courses; operates science classroom Kagaku Plus, and learning centers/cram schools, as well home tutors service; and develops educational materials for learning centers. The company also operates approximately 400 housing and facilities for the elderly; offers home-based care services, including home-visit nursing and daycare services; conducts food delivery services to prevent nursing care and promotes health; and operates nursery school/children' s daycare center and afterschool children's clubs, as well as developmental support programs. In addition, it is involved in the publication of children's books, study-aid books, dictionaries, general books/ technical books, practical books, magazines, and books for libraries; online classes business; developing web services and software to digitalizing contents in the medical field; and designing, developing, and selling of stationeries and miscellaneous goods 

The business is similar to Benesse, although I feel like Gakken's educational books and toys are more common from what I've personally seen.

Comment

Be aware that to get anything you need to hold the stock for at least a year. There's a wide variety things to use the points on, their online store is probably the easiest and has a lot of stuff you can buy, especially if you have kids you'll find plenty of good stuff.
