Pay only the difference. The city pays the subsidy directly to the daycare
The city subsidizes daycare fees for children at Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho). Fees are free up to ¥80,000/month for the age 0–2 classes and up to ¥77,000/month for the age 3–5 classes; for ages 0–2, households paying resident tax are also covered. The enrollment fee is also covered. The subsidy is paid by the city directly to the certified daycare every month, so you pay only the difference between the contracted fee and the subsidy limit. Costs requested by the daycare other than the fee, such as ingredient costs for the age 3–5 classes, are not covered. The condition is that the parents cannot care for the child at home because of work, illness, etc.
