Check City Rules
Nursery applications are handled by city offices, and required documents differ by city.
Work Documents
Parents may need employment certificates, work schedules, income documents, or job search documents.
Family Information
Residence cards, household information, child's health information, and bank details may be needed.
Deadlines Matter
Application periods and results have deadlines. Prepare early because company documents may take time.
Ask for Help
If Japanese forms are difficult, ask the city office, international association, or support desk.
