Subsidies for private kindergarten fees and enrollment fees
Parent subsidy (Tokyo + city)
Enrollment fee subsidy (first year)
The amount depends on the municipal income-based resident tax amount and birth order
For parents of children aged 3–5 (including the class for children who have just turned 3) at private kindergartens or kindergartens that moved to the new system, the city pays its subsidy together with Tokyo's. There is no income limit. The amount depends on the municipal income-based resident tax amount and birth order: ¥4,800 to ¥10,100 a month for the first child (Tokyo ¥1,800–6,200 + city ¥3,000–3,900), and up to ¥10,100 a month for third and later children. It is separate from the national facility usage benefit (¥28,000/month from the October 2026 portion). In addition, ¥10,000 is paid in the first year you pay an enrollment fee (if the enrollment fee is under ¥10,000, that amount).
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 with an address in Akishima City who have facility usage benefit certification and whose child aged 3–5 attends a private kindergarten or similar (for certified centers for early childhood education and care, Type 1 certification only)
