Applications for admission in April 2023

We are now seeking applications from Tohoku University employees and students who wish to enroll their children at Kawauchi Keyaki Nursery School and Aobayama Midori Nursery School in April 2023.
We will carry out a selection process to determine which children to enroll.

In April 2022, Kawauchi Keyaki Nursery School entered a transition period, shifting from a non-registered childcare facility to an on-site Sendai City municipal-level childcare facility (i.e. a nursery school for children between 0 and 2 years old). Children aged 3 to 5 will continue to be able to attend the nursery until this period comes to an end in 2025. Please also be aware that the childcare fees will be set by Sendai City (with a maximum amount set by the university).
Eligibility
Enrollment is open to healthy preschool children two months and older of Tohoku University employees and students who are deemed to require childcare assistance due to the nature of their jobs/studies.
Applications are not taken for children not yet born.
Application Submission Deadline
The closing date is Friday, January 20, 2023.

About Certification for Support (教育・保育給付認定, kyouiku hoiku kyuufu nintei )
If you are not employed by the university (for example, you are a graduate student, JSPS scholarship recipient, etc.) or if your spouse is seeking employment, you will need to obtain a certificate to prove this status from your local ward office in Sendai City.

If you apply by December 2nd, the certificate will be sent in late January;
if you apply on or after December 5th, it will be sent in late February.

If you cannot attach the certificate in time, please attach a copy of your application for the certificate. Then please send us the certificate as soon as you receive it. (Sendai City website: https://www.city.sendai.jp/kodomo-kankyosebi/kigyosyudogata.html)

※Kawauchi Keyaki Nursery School will carry out these procedures at a later date. Therefore, if it is the only nursery school to which you wish to apply, you do not need to acquire the certification for support at this time.
