Up to ¥450 a day toward extended-care fees in the class for children who have just turned 3 (taxable households, from the first child)

For children in resident-tax-paying households in the class for children who have just turned 3 (man 3-sai class) at private kindergartens and similar, the city subsidizes extended-care (azukari hoiku) fees up to ¥450 per day (with a monthly cap). The national benefit for extended care in this class is limited to households exempt from resident tax, so taxable households receive the same ¥450 per day through this subsidy. Since September 2025 it has been extended to the first child in taxable households as well. If the extended care at your child's kindergarten is not sufficient or similar, fees for temporary childcare at another kindergarten are also added, up to ¥16,300 a month. A certification of the need for childcare is required, and the subsidy is paid afterward.
