Requesting after-hours daycare for a certain month
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. In this example, a request is given for extended-hours daycare during a certain month.
