How to open a small nursery school
Updated: July 2024, 11
Small-scale licensed nursery schools are childcare facilities under a new system that started in April 27.
While licensed nursery schools have a capacity of 60 or more children, small-scale licensed nursery schools are smaller, with a capacity of 6 to 19 children, and target ages 0 to 2, which is in high demand.
Until now, small-scale childcare with 19 or fewer children was not licensed, but under the new child and child care support system, it is now a municipally approved business (local childcare business).
Establishing a licensed daycare center requires at least two years to open, but a small-scale licensed daycare center can open in about 2 to 4 months.
There are two main ways to open a small childcare business.
