Fees at Tokyo-certified daycare, company-led daycare and similar subsidized up to ¥80,000/month (ages 0–2, taxable households)

The city subsidizes daycare fees for parents whose children attend Tokyo-certified daycare, company-led daycare facilities or regular-use daycare facilities (only those with a certificate) on a monthly contract. Other unlicensed childcare facilities are not covered. The monthly limit is ¥80,000 for ages 0–2 not covered by the national free-of-charge program (taxable households, etc.), and ¥34,300 for ages 0–2 covered by the free-of-charge program (households exempt from resident tax with a need for childcare; the national government pays up to ¥45,700/month). For ages 3–5, it is up to ¥36,700/month whether covered by the free-of-charge program (national payment up to ¥40,300/month) or not. At Tokyo-certified daycare and similar, the subsidy is deducted from the daycare fees paid to the facility (proxy receipt), and there are no application documents for the city. For company-led daycare, apply twice a year through the facility. Temporary childcare is not covered.
