Up to ¥80,000 a month toward Tokyo-certified daycare fees

This subsidy is for Chiyoda City households whose children attend a "Tokyo-certified daycare" (ninshō hoikusho), which follows Tokyo's own standards, or similar. A usage contract of 48 hours or more a month is required.

If you have a reason that requires childcare and meet the requirements, daycare fees for up to 220 hours a month contracted with the facility are subsidized up to ¥80,000 a month for the 0–2-year-old classes and ¥77,000 a month for the 3–5-year-old classes, and from September 2025 the daycare fee you pay is ¥0. Amounts above the limit, hours above 220 a month, and temporary childcare fees are paid by you. Tokyo-certified daycare outside the city is also covered.

If you are on childcare leave, you are covered from the month you return to work. You must submit documents proving that you cannot provide childcare by the last business day of the month in which you want the subsidy to start.
