For parents of children aged 3 and over attending a kindergarten or a certified center for early childhood education and care (Type 1), the city subsidizes part of the childcare fees and other payments. The fees remaining after subtracting the national facility usage subsidy (free-of-charge program) are covered. The upper limit, from ¥5,200/month to ¥9,600/month, depends on the household's municipal resident tax income-based amount (shotokuwari) and the child's birth order. Older siblings are counted regardless of age, so even if an older child is in elementary school or above, the child counts as the second or third child. Children aged 3 (second and later children) whom the city has confirmed have a need for childcare also receive ¥450 per day toward extended-care (azukari hoiku) fees.

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.

Who is eligible

Parents registered as residents of Akiruno City with a child aged 3 or over attending a kindergarten or certified center for early childhood education and care (Type 1 certification) (the extended-care fee subsidy is for second and later children aged 3 whom the city has confirmed have a need for childcare)

When to apply

Application forms are distributed through the kindergarten, so submit them to the kindergarten. The first-half portion (April to August) is paid into your bank account in mid-November, and the second-half portion (September to March) in early May.

Notes

The income-based amount is the total for both parents; if someone other than the parents has the child as a dependent, that person's amount is also added.The income-based amount is judged before subtracting the housing loan deduction, dividend deduction, donation tax credit, etc.The extended-care fee subsidy is the lower of the extended-care fees paid and "days used × ¥450".From September 2025, fees at kindergarten-like early childhood facilities are subsidized under the Subsidy for Parents of Children at Unlicensed Childcare Facilities.Children attending a kindergarten outside the city may also be eligible, so contact the Childcare Division (042-558-1111, ext. 2651/2652).
