Other
  • Documents that verify your need for childcare
  1. If you are submitting applications for more than one child, as long as you submit the original verification document with one child application, any other subsequent childs’ application may utilize photocopies instead.

  2. We may ask you to submit other documents we deem necessary to verify your need for childcare in addition to those listed above.

Regarding the Handling of Certificates Without Official Seals

In order to make administrative procedures a more convenient process for citizens, official seals are no longer required on the above application-related documents as of July 2021. For this reason, you will not need to have your company stamp your Certificate of Employment or other documents. However, in order to ensure the information on your Certificate of Employment, Certificate of Illness/Disability or other documents is accurate, the Childcare Division may contact the relevant organizations to have the information verified if they have any questions regarding what you have written.

■Supporting Documents for Certificates Without an Official Seal

If you will be receiving any of the following documents along with your unstamped certificate from your company, medical institution, or other organization, please submit them along with your certificate (if you do not receive them, you may submit even without them)

  • A document showing that you were issued the certificate by the organization in question (e.g. a screenshot of an email, a copy of the fax, the envelope that was mailed/handed to you, etc.)

■WARNING (Falsifying Documents)

Creating or modifying a physical or electronic copy of a Certificate of Employment using the name of a business without authorization, regardless of whether or not it has the company’s official seal affixed, can be considered any of the following crimes: Counterfeiting of Official Documents with Seals, Alteration of Official Documents with Seals, or Unauthorized Creation of Electronic or Magnetic Records.



If it is established that your documents have been created or modified without authorization, permission to use the childcare facility will be revoked, and your child will be removed from the facility if they have already been enrolled.

Facility Enrollment Lottery

Tokushima City runs an enrollment lottery that allows children who are highly in need of childcare to be given priority when entering certified childcare facilities, based on the reasons that childcare is required (e.g. working parents, etc.), as well as the circumstances of the child, parents, and other factors as outlined in the standard criteria, priority criteria, and adjustment tables (Reference: FY 2024 Childcare Facility Use Application Guide) (JPN only) ダウンロードのリンク 新規ウインドウで開きます。(FY2023 English vers)(PDF形式:2,238KB)

How Assignment is Determined

  1. Total Score = Standard Criteria (parent w/ lowest score) + Priority Criteria (+/- points per applicable item)
  2. Applicants with higher total scores will be given priority to use facilities (if the scores vary between siblings, it will be determined based on the child with the highest)
  3. Equal scores will be settled based on the “Adjustment Table for Equal Scores” (priority will be given to the applicant with the higher score)

Notes Regarding Preferred Facilities

If there are several potential facilities available to you and you indicate 3 or more as your preferences, your score will be much higher during the enrollment lottery.



Withdrawing enrollment after being granted approval will result in a lower score on any future applications, so please choose your preferred facilities with careful consideration.



  • Available Facilities: Facilities whose opening hours meet the parents’ preferences and take less than 20-30 minutes to get to from home using regular transportation methods.
  • If there are 3 or more available facilities: Your score will be higher if you indicate at least 3 of the available facilities.
  • If there are only 2 available facilities: Your score will be higher if you indicate both of the available facilities (even though your total number of preferences will be less than 3).
  • If there is only 1 available facility: Your score will be higher if you indicate the one available facility (even though your total number of preferences will be less than 3).

About Online Application

You may apply for Fiscal Year 2024 Use of a Childcare Facility (Type 2 & 3) online.

 
 However, please note that you cannot complete the entirety of the Application for Use of a Childcare Facility (Type 2 & 3) solely online (to complete the application, there are necessary procedures which you must come in person to the Childcare Division window in order to complete after your online application) (If you do not complete the above mentioned procedures within the application time restriction, we will have to consider the application you submitted online invalid, so please make note of this in advance).

  • For an online application both an「Applicant Child Interview」and submission of「Necessary Application Documents(such as a Child Status Report, Individual Number Usage Permission Form, Certificate of Employment, etc. )」are required.

  • For those who apply online, we request that you call the Childcare Division by phone to notify us that you have completed an online application, and that you schedule an interview (and other possibly necessary appointments) for the applicant child. (In regards to the interview for the applicant child, please bring with you the necessary documents for application ( such as a Child Sta/tus Report, record of your My Number, Certificate of Employment, etc.)

Regional Use (Facilities Outside of the City)

Regional Use is a system that allows parents to request childcare facilities outside of the municipality that their child resides in by entering the child into the enrollment lottery of the municipality where the preferred facility is located.



This is only possible if the Regional Use system is available in both municipalities.



Furthermore, the system can only be used one fiscal year at a time (from the date of enrollment until the end of March), and you will need to re-enter the enrollment lottery every year.

If you live outside of Tokushima City and would like to use a facility in the city

Please submit your application to the municipality where you live.

  • Please contact your local government office for information on how to apply and make sure to apply at least 10 days before the deadlines indicated on the front page of the Application Guide.
  • Please note that citizens of Tokushima City will be given priority in the enrollment lottery.
  • If you are applying for April enrollment as someone who lives outside of the city, you will be entered into the enrollment lottery as a 2nd period applicant regardless of when you applied.

If you live in Tokushima City and would like to use a facility outside of the city

Please submit your application to the Tokushima City Childcare Division.



(Notes)
The application period and required documents differ depending on the municipality.



Before applying, you must confirm the following information with the relevant division in the municipality where your preferred facility is located:

  • Application period for the month you wish to enroll your child
  • Required documents (also verify which city’s forms you should fill out)
  • Names and contact information of the staff at the relevant division of the municipality where your preferred facility is located

If you live outside of the city, but are planning to move to Tokushima City

Please apply as if you are a citizen of Tokushima City.



However, please note that you must have your residence record changed to Tokushima city by the first day of the month you wish to begin using the facility. (For more information, please contact the Childcare Division.)
