- For children with a need for childcare
The city subsidizes extended-care fees for children in taxable households who attend the class for children who have just turned 3 (man 3-sai class) at a private kindergarten and have a need for childcare. The subsidy is the lower of "the monthly extended-care fee actually paid" and "¥450 per day × days used."From September 2025, all children who have just turned 3 with a need for childcare, including first children, became eligible (excluding children with new Type 3 certification). For children in tax-exempt households, the national facility usage benefit covers this.
