Yurikago Day Care Room for Infants on Waiting Lists for Public Nursery School (Non-Regular Use)
The Yurikago Day Care Room for Infants on Waiting Lists for Public Nursery School (non-regular use) is intended for situations in which childcare is needed urgently.
“I was raising my child at home, but suddenly circumstances have made it difficult to do so.”
“My child has been admitted to a local nursery school, but I’m having trouble finding childcare until the enrollment date.”
“I was using another nursery school, but it was suddenly closed down.”
The above are just examples. Please contact us in other circumstances as well. The eligibility requirements are the same as for the regular Yurikago Day Care Room.
If you wish to use the service, please read the following requirements carefully and then complete the necessary procedures.
Please note, however, that the usage period should generally be less than one month, and there may be cases in which the service is unavailable due to having reached capacity.
*As of December 24, 2024, the service is also available for healthy pre-elementary-school children aged 15 months or older.
