The city provides a subsidy, depending on income, to parents of children aged 3 to 5 at private kindergartens and new-system kindergartens or certified centers. It is a top-up on the national facility usage benefit (¥28,000/month from the October 2026 portion). The monthly limit depends on the municipal resident tax income-based amount and the number of older siblings: ¥5,000 to ¥9,400/month for the first child, and up to ¥9,400/month for the third and later children. Kindergarten-like early childhood facilities approved by Tokyo do not receive the national benefit, so Tokyo and the city cover up to ¥30,700 to ¥35,100/month.
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
Parents with an address in Kokubunji City whose child aged 3 to 5 has certification for facility usage benefits (or Type 1 certification) and attends a private kindergarten or similar
