This program regularly looks after children from 6 months old to the 2-year-old class who do not attend daycare, kindergarten, etc. From FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027), it is run as the national Childcare Access for All Children program (kodomo daredemo tsūen).

If you live in the city and use a facility in the city, up to 16 hours a month is free. Facilities may separately charge actual costs such as diapers and meals.

Before applying, you need to apply to the city for usage certification (it may take about 14 days to issue the certificate). The batch applications for the second half of FY2026 have closed, and now applications are accepted at any time only at facilities with open spots.

If you live in the city and use a facility outside the city, it is up to 10 hours a month, and fees are set by each facility.
