Subsidy for private kindergarten fees and similar
Fee subsidy (monthly cap)¥5,200–9,600Depends on the income-based tax amount and birth order
- Can be received separately from the national facility usage benefit
For parents living in the town whose child attends a kindergarten or certified center for early childhood education and care, the town subsidizes part of the fees and other payments (the specific charges at new-system kindergartens). The cap depends on the income-based resident tax amount and the child's birth order, from ¥5,200 to ¥9,600 a month. For taxable households in the class for children who have just turned 3 (man 3-sai class) with a need for childcare, there is also a subsidy of ¥450 per day toward extended-care fees. The subsidy is paid twice a year (first half in late October, second half in mid-April).
