Childrearing Support Registry

Childrearing Support Registry is a collection of information on child-rearing support systems registered in a database by local governments and the national government throughout Japan. Local governments register system information, and app providers use the information to deliver the information needed by child-rearing households at the optimal timing through push-type distribution.
At present, child-raising households individually collect necessary support system information through various methods such as local government websites, public relations magazines, and window consultations. However, due to the dispersion of information, the following problems have arisen.

  • Do not know about the support system and do not get the support you need
  • Limited opportunities to obtain information due to inability to consult others
  • Missed deadlines and missed help

Childrearing Support Registry aims to solve these problems and build a system that ensures that necessary support information reaches families raising children.

Applicable Systems

It mainly covers the child care support system for preschoolers (124 types of systems *).
* As of November 1, 2025

Specifically, the following systems are included.

  • Support for pregnancy and childbirth (prenatal checkups, lump-sum birth allowance, etc.)
  • Support for infants (infant health checkups, vaccinations, etc.)
  • Support for childcare and education (day care centers, centers for early childhood education and care, temporary care, etc.)
  • Support for single-parent families (child rearing allowance, etc.)
  • Other Childcare Support Systems
