- Monthly contract of 120 hours or more per month
For children registered as residents of Katsushika City with a monthly contract of 120 hours or more with Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho), monthly daycare fees including food costs are covered up to ¥80,000 per child per month. There is no income limit. Children in 3- to 5-year-old classes and children in 0- to 2-year-old classes in households exempt from resident tax apply with the national facility use benefit certification (new type 2 or new type 3). Children in 0- to 2-year-old classes in taxed households are covered by the city's own free program. The limit is ¥80,000 per month in both cases. The subsidy is subtracted from the daycare fee, so you pay the facility only the remainder.
