About Childcare
For children entering kindergarten for the first time, a “transitional period” is provided in which the hours are gradually increased to normal, starting with short hours, so that the children can adjust to kindergarten without any strain.
User Charges (Tuition)
Due to the free early childhood education and childcare program, tuition fees are free, but school lunch fees are not included. However, side dish fees are exempt under certain conditions.
