This program subsidizes daycare fees up to ¥40,000 per month for resident-tax-paying households living in Itabashi City whose children in 0- to 2-year-old classes attend unlicensed childcare facilities with a monthly contract of 48 hours or more. The subsidy is the lower of the actual fee and ¥40,000. Tax-exempt households in 0- to 2-year-old classes and 3- to 5-year-old classes are covered by the facility use benefit, not this program. Eligible facilities are unlicensed childcare facilities that meet Tokyo's supervision standards and have received a certificate, including company-led childcare facilities. However, Tokyo-certified daycare and baby hotels are covered by a separate program (Daycare Fee Reduction Subsidy for Tokyo-certified Daycare, etc.), so they are excluded from this subsidy. From April 2026, meal costs and snack costs were added to the subsidy in addition to the monthly fee.

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

Resident-tax-paying households in 0- to 2-year-old classes using unlicensed facilities with a contract of 48 hours or more per month

Notes

Limited to resident-tax-paying households. Tokyo-certified daycare and baby hotels are covered by a separate program.
