Those who wish to use a childcare center outside the city (Licensed Childcare Center only)

When submitting necessary documents to Inagi City, please submit them at least one week before the application deadline of the municipality where the Childcare Center is located.

Decision on the Implementation of Childcare

Based on the standard index table for selection of Childcare Centers, etc. (as described in the Childcare Center Usage Guide), the contents of the application forms for Childcare Centers, Home Daycare Providers, etc. are comprehensively reviewed, and childcare is provided starting with children who have the highest need for care.
Please note that if the number of applicants exceeds the capacity, immediate use may not be possible.
Note: Please be aware that interviews and health checkups at Childcare Centers, Home Daycare Providers, and Authorized Early Childhood Education and Care Centers (Childcare Center function part) may result in a determination that childcare is difficult. Also, if the required documents are not submitted, you may not be able to use the service.

Those who were unable to use it

The validity period of the Application Form for Childcare Center, Home Daycare Provider, etc. use and the Application for Education and Childcare Benefit Certification for fiscal year Reiwa 7 is until the usage starting from March 1, Reiwa 8. If there are any changes in your household situation during this period, please report them promptly. If vacancies occur in the capacity of Childcare Centers, Home Daycare Providers, or Authorized Childcare Centers with integrated nursery and kindergarten functions (Childcare Center function part), users will be provisionally selected at the monthly usage selection meetings. Only those provisionally selected will be notified by phone after the meeting ends.
If the facility is full and you are unable to use it, you will be notified with a notice of non-approval for use only the first time.
If you wish to continue using the Childcare Center, Home Daycare Provider, etc. beyond April of Reiwa 8 fiscal year, you need to apply again.
