Enrollment fee ¥100,000, meal fee ¥7,500/month, etc. covered

The city covers part of the costs for parents of children attending private kindergartens or private nintei kodomo-en. Many of the subsidies are paid by the city directly to the kindergarten, so parents do not need to pay first. The breakdown is: enrollment fee up to ¥100,000 (once per child); tuition, etc. at kindergartens not in the new system up to ¥37,300 per month; specified payments, etc. at kindergartens in the new system up to ¥9,300 per month; meal fees up to ¥7,500 per month; and the 2-year-old subsidy up to ¥37,300 per month. The ¥37,300 for tuition, etc. and the 2-year-old subsidy is the amount from October 2026, combining the national ¥28,000 and Tokyo/city ¥9,300. Both parent and child must be registered as residents of Adachi City and commute from within the city. Ages are from 2-year-olds (children at kindergartens that accept children who have just turned 3, cared for in the same way as other ages) to 5-year-olds.
