Up to ¥80,000 a month toward unlicensed childcare fees for taxable households with children aged 0–2 (from October 2026)
- Additional amount of ¥36,700 a month for the 3–5-year-old classes
- Limit until the September fee was ¥42,000 a month
Chuo City subsidizes part of the daycare fee for children attending unlicensed childcare facilities that meet the national standards.
For households in the 0–2-year-old classes that pay resident tax, the limit is ¥80,000 a month from the October 2026 fee. It consists of a basic amount of ¥45,700 and an additional amount of ¥34,300; until the September fee, the limit was ¥42,000.
From the October 2026 fee, all households in the 3–5-year-old classes and households in the 0–2-year-old classes exempt from resident tax also receive the additional subsidy. The limit is ¥36,700 a month for the 3–5-year-old classes and ¥34,300 a month for tax-exempt households in the 0–2-year-old classes. These households may also be able to receive the national "facility use benefits for child-rearing" (up to ¥40,300 a month for the 3–5-year-old classes and ¥45,700 a month for tax-exempt households in the 0–2-year-old classes), which requires a separate procedure.
The additional subsidy is paid for the part of the daycare fee above the basic amount (for people receiving facility use benefits, the benefit limit) when you have a monthly contract of 48 hours or more with the facility.
