Tokyo-certified daycare fees reduced up to ¥80,000/month for ages 0-2

For Adachi City residents with a monthly contract with Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho), the city pays daycare fees up to the reduction limit. You pay the facility only the remainder after subtracting the reduction from the contracted fee, so you do not have to pay the full amount first. The reduction limit is ¥80,000 per month for 0- to 2-year-old classes and ¥77,000 per month for 3- to 5-year-old classes. For a first child not certified as needing childcare, the limit is lower: ¥55,000 for 0- to 2-year-old classes in tax-exempt households and households that have not filed resident tax, and ¥57,000 for 3- to 5-year-old classes (¥80,000 for taxed households in 0- to 2-year-old classes even without certification). Conditions are that both the user and the child live in Adachi City, have a monthly contract with the Tokyo-certified daycare, and are enrolled from the first day of the month. Enrollment fees, extended-hours fees, and transportation fees are not covered. Because free daycare fees for the first child aged 0-2 at licensed daycare, etc. do not cover Tokyo-certified daycare, households using Tokyo-certified daycare receive the reduction under this program.
