- The same for certified centers, small-scale daycare, etc.
Daycare fees for the age 0–2 classes used to be free from the second child, but from September 2025 Tokyo's own support was expanded and the first child is now free too. This applies to Fussa City residents. The age 3–5 classes have been free since October 2019. Even though the fees are free, the city calculates the fee from income information to apply for subsidies from Tokyo and the national government. Certified centers for early childhood education and care, small-scale daycare and regular-use daycare (Sumire Hoikuen) in the city are treated the same.
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
Children of Fussa City residents in the age 0–2 classes using licensed daycare, certified centers for early childhood education and care, small-scale daycare, etc.
Notes
For the age 0–2 classes, there is no age limit when counting multiple children (all children sharing the household budget are counted; a Tokyo program).
