Certificate pertaining to the provision of specific children and child care support (common to parents and businesses)

 In order to receive benefits for usage fees paid to facilities subject to free-of-charge, it is necessary to request Yokohama City for free-of-charge benefits. At the time of request, it is necessary to attach a “certificate pertaining to the provision of specific children and child care support” issued by each facility. Please ask the facility to issue a "certificate pertaining to the provision of specific children and child care support".The Yokohama Child Care Support System requires a "Aid Activity Report and Receipt" (for free application) instead of a certificate provided.
 Until now, it was supposed to be created every month, but this time we have created a form that can be filled out for three months at once.
 ※Examination is possible even in the previous format.

※This is a document attached to the user of the Yokohama Child Care Support System.
