Pick-up/drop-off and temporary care for 43 days to age 12, ¥800-¥900/hour
This is a mutual support program in which families living in Itabashi City with children from 43 days old until the first March 31 after turning 12 can ask local members (helper members) to take children to and from daycare or after-school care, or look after them temporarily. The fee is ¥800 per hour on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and ¥900 at other times, on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and during the year-end/New Year period. Each use is up to 4 hours. One Sukusuku Card voucher can be used for 1 hour, and cashless payment is also accepted. You need to register as a member (requesting member) with the center in advance and have a preliminary meeting with a helper member before use (the preliminary meeting is paid: ¥800 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., ¥900 at other times, on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and during the year-end/New Year period). It is convenient for occasional childcare needs such as overtime, hospital visits, or an older child's school events.
