For those who are considering using non-licensed childcare facilities

Non-licensed childcare facilities are general terms for childcare facilities that have not been approved as child welfare facilities under the Child Welfare Law.

In order to establish and operate unlicensed childcare facilities, it is necessary to meet the “Standards for Guidance and Supervision of Non-licensed Childcare Facilities” notified by the government from the viewpoint of ensuring the safety of elementary school studenｔ and ensuring appropriate childcare standards. The city conducts on-site inspections once a year.

Childcare facilities are where children spend most of their time living, and depending on their environment and childcare content, may affect not only the safety and health of children but also the healthy development. When deciding on a childcare facility to leave your child, refer to "How to select a good childcare facility (Notice of the Child and Family Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare)", and actually visit the facility with your own eyes. Please check the contents.

In addition, the installers of the facilities subject to notification are required to submit the following “posting of service contents” and “writing of contract contents”, so please refer to these facts.
