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

This is a system to reduce the burden of usage fees and side meal costs when there is a sibling that meets the requirements.

Last Updated March 6, 2024

Requirements for the target of multiple child reduction (sibling classification)

Set a sibling category (*) to reduce the usage fee for the 0-2 year old class according to the siblings category, or exempt the side meal fee for the 3 to 5 year old class.
※It will be one of the "first to third children." The sibling category may differ from the actual number of siblings.

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

If you have a pre-primary school sibling using a specific facility or business, the siblings will be counted in order from the older elementary school student.

[In the case of 0 to 2 years old class]

If the sibling category is a second child, the usage fee is reduced (*), and the usage fee for the third child in the sibling category is 0 yen.

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

[In the case of 3 to 5 years old class]

If the sibling category is a third child, the actual cost of the side meal fee is exempted.

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

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

If the sibling category is the third child, the actual cost of the side meal fee will be exempted.
