Osaka - Post Report Question and Answers

Are preschools available? Day care? Are these expensive? What has been your experience with them, if any? Do the schools provide before- and/or after-school care?

Yes, they are available. I don't know about the expense as my kids are way beyond preschool and daycare. - May 2021


International daycares do not accept children until 1.4 years old (I know, random age). This has been a big challenge for dual-working households. Even then, daycare typically runs from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, challenging a full time work schedule. Nishinomiya International School is popular among consulate employees. - Jul 2018


There is a preschool in Nishinomiya that caters to international students (It's called Nishinomiya International School). The staff are responsive and while it's not cheap, it's not that expensive. - Oct 2013
