Requesting after-hours daycare on a certain day
You may write a note to the school to request extended-hours or after-hours daycare at your child's kindergarten or preschool. Schools may use different terms – such as "jikan-gai hoiku" (after-hours daycare) or "encho-hoiku" (extended-hours daycare) – for daycare services that take place outside regular hours, so you should ask your child's school about the service that they offer, and how you should apply for this service.
