For children from the age-3 class to the final-year class attending a private-school-subsidy kindergarten (a private kindergarten that has not moved to the new system), the city subsidizes childcare fees and other payments (heating and cooling costs, etc.) at ¥34,300 to ¥38,700/month. The limit depends on the household's municipal resident tax income-based amount and the child's birth order. The enrollment fee is subsidized up to ¥30,000 on new enrollment. Extended-care fees are subsidized up to ¥900 per day, with a monthly limit of ¥22,600 for the youngest regular class (nensho) and above, and ¥32,600 for children aged 3 (manzan-sai). The age-2 class also receives a subsidy of ¥32,000 to ¥36,400/month toward childcare fees and similar.
