Applications for admission in April 2024
We are now seeking applications from Tohoku University employees and students who wish to enroll their children at Kawauchi Keyaki Nursery School and Aobayama Midori Nursery School in April 2024.
We will carry out a selection process to determine which children to enroll.
In April 2022, Kawauchi Keyaki Nursery School entered a transition period, shifting from a non-registered childcare facility to an on-site Sendai City municipal-level childcare facility (i.e. a nursery school for children between 0 and 2 years old). Children aged 3 to 5 will continue to be able to attend the nursery until this period comes to an end in 2025. Please also be aware that the childcare fees will be set by Sendai City (with a maximum amount set by the university).

If you apply by December 1st, the certificate will be sent in late January;
if you apply on or after December 4th, it will be sent in late February.
If you cannot attach the certificate in time, please attach a copy of your application for the certificate. Then please send us the certificate as soon as you receive it. (Sendai City website: https://www.city.sendai.jp/kodomo-kankyosebi/kigyosyudogata.html)
