Child-care and Child Welfare
Nursery schools
Nursery schools are facilities to provide substitute day care for children whose parents or guardians are unable to care for them at home, due to employment or other reasons. Each nursery school tries to ensure that the children develop safely and healthily, and also provides child-care consultations so that working parents or guardians can have peace of mind.
Infant care
Infant care in a family atmosphere can be provided once the mother's maternity leave has ended.
Extended day care
Child-care can be provided until nineteen.
Day care on Saturdays
Child-care is provided until eighteen for children whose parents or guardians work on Saturday afternoons too.
Short-term day care
Child-care can be provided when parents or guardians who usually care for the child at home are temporarily unable to do so, due to reasons such as work, sickness/injury, weddings/funerals etc., or the need to take a break.
Closed during the New Year's holidays
