About reduction of multiple children of usage fee (childcare fee) (sibling classification) 

This is a system that reduces the burden of usage fees and side meals at the same time when there is a sibling child who meets the requirements.

Last Updated March 6, 2024

Requirements for the target of multi-child reduction (sibling classification)

Sibling classification (*) is set to reduce the usage fee for the 0-2 year old class depending on the sibling category, or exempt the side meal fee for the 3-5 year old class.
※It will be one of the "1st to 3rd children". Sibling classification may differ from the actual number of siblings.

Childcare use (nursery school, certified child institution (childcare use), community-based childcare business))

If there is a pre-primary school sibling using a specific facility or business, the sibling is counted from the older elementary school student to determine the sibling classification.

[In the case of 0-2 year old class]

If the siblings are a second child, the usage fee will be reduced (*), and the siblings are charged 0 yen for the third child.

※The amount of reduction depends on the burden category. Please refer to use money table (sibling division second child column) of "use guidance such as Yokohama-shi nursery schools" of the year to use.

[In the case of 3-5 year old class]

If the siblings are the third child, the actual cost burden of the side meal fee will be exempted.

Educational use (Kindergarten, Certified Children's Center (Education use))

If there is a first- to third-year elementary school student and a pre-primary school sibling using a specific facility or business, the siblings are counted in order from the older elementary school student to determine the sibling classification.

If the siblings are the third child, the actual cost burden of the side meal fee will be exempted.
