For parents of children aged 3–5 at private kindergartens and similar, Tokyo and the city together provide the Parent Burden Reduction Program Subsidy in addition to the national facility usage benefit (free-of-charge program). It is ¥7,000 to ¥11,400/month depending on the municipal resident tax income-based amount and older siblings. In addition to childcare fees, "other payments" set in the kindergarten rules, such as facility maintenance fees and heating and cooling costs, are also covered. According to the city's notice for the second half of FY2026, the national facility usage benefit limit is ¥28,000/month, and together with the subsidy, even the lowest category receives ¥35,000/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 registered as residents of Nishitokyo City with a child aged 3–5 (including from the 3rd birthday) attending a private kindergarten or similar and paying childcare fees, etc.
When to apply
Application forms for the second half are distributed in early September through the facility your child attends. The deadline for this fiscal year is March 5, 2027 (must arrive by). The first-half portion (April–September) is paid into your bank account at the end of November, and the second-half portion (October–March) at the end of May.
