Childcare Support and Consultation Services

Preschool Facilities There are nurseries (hoikuen), kindergartens (yochien), and certified children's centers (nintei kodomo-en). Choose a facility where your child can feel safe and comfortable. After-School Childcare Clubs These facilities look after children in the lower grades of elementary school after school hours. Children can spend their time safely after school ends. Family Support Centers This is a system that supports childcare by connecting parents with volunteers who can help with raising children. Consultation Services At Children and Family Support Centers (Kodomo Katei Center) and local childcare support hubs, you can get advice on a wide range of childcare concerns. Feel free to use these services and reach out whenever you need help. --- Source: Immigration Services Agency of Japan "Life and Work Guidebook" 第8版 https://www.moj.go.jp/isa/support/portal/guidebook_all.html This article was reorganized by ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社 based on the above source. ※This language version is a machine translation from the Japanese version (ＳＩＡデジタルテクノロジー株式会社).
