Authorized nursery schools
Last Updated November 1, 2024
What is an Authorized Nursery School?
It is a child welfare facility based on the Child Welfare Law that meets the setting standards set by the government and has been approved by the prefectural governor (mayor).
This is a facility that takes care of preschool children who cannot be nursed at home during the day due to employment or illness on behalf of their parents.
Authorized daycare centers include public (municipal) daycare centers and private daycare centers (private) operated by social welfare corporations, all of which are operated at public expense and have the same childcare fees.
