Up to ¥80,000 a month toward fees at Tokyo-certified daycare and unlicensed childcare facilities (age 0–2, taxable households)
- Company-led childcare only for taxable households with ages 0–2 (¥37,100/month for age 0)
- Capped at the basic daycare fee paid to the facility
The city subsidizes the basic daycare fee for parents whose child is at Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho) or an unlicensed childcare facility with a certificate showing it meets the guidance and supervision standards (including company-led childcare facilities). Extended childcare fees and similar are not included. From the October 2026 portion, the caps for Tokyo-certified daycare and unlicensed childcare facilities are ¥80,000 a month for taxable households with children aged 0–2, ¥34,300 a month for households on public assistance or tax-exempt households with children aged 0–2, and ¥36,700 a month for ages 3–5. For tax-exempt households with ages 0–2 and for ages 3–5, it makes up the difference from the national free-childcare benefit (¥45,700 and ¥40,300). For company-led childcare facilities, only taxable households with children aged 0–2 are eligible, with caps of ¥37,100 a month for age 0 and ¥37,000 a month for ages 1–2. Conditions are a reason requiring childcare (such as working 48 hours or more a month), living in the city on the first day of the month, and having a monthly or annual contract with the facility for 120 hours or more a month. Temporary childcare and periods of childcare leave for the child being applied for are not covered.
