Subsidy for fees at Tokyo-certified and company-led daycare. Under 3 (taxable households): up to ¥67,000/month

For children attending Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho) or company-led daycare facilities, the city subsidizes daycare fees at the lower of the amount actually paid and the standard amount. The standard amount is ¥67,000/month for children under 3 in taxable households with a need for childcare, ¥25,000/month for households exempt from tax, and ¥20,000/month for children 3 and over. For children under 3, meal costs are also included in the subsidy. For children 3 and over, the daycare fees remaining after the national facility usage subsidy (shisetsu-tō riyōhi) are covered. Even without a need for childcare, children under 3 are subsidized up to ¥25,000/month and children 3 and over up to ¥20,000/month. In addition, the city subsidizes meal costs for children 3 and over (up to ¥1,800/month for the oldest child and ¥5,100/month for other children) and extended-hours fees for households on public assistance or exempt from tax.
