Moving to different ward with 2yr old (bad idea?)

Is it a bad idea to move out when my kid is about to be 3yr old? Should i prepare/consider something first?

About us: both me and wife is working. Target ward is kawasaki or yokohama. Kid is on hoikuen and 3 months away on being 3 yrs old.

  1. As long as you can find a different Hoikuen I don’t see what’s the issue. Also by the way Kawasaki and Yokohama are cities in Kanagawa, not wards of Tokyo. That would mean that social security is a little different compared to Tokyo.

  2. There’s some agreement between municipalities for kindergartens and nurseries when parents move with young children. Someone tells me they basically owe you a spot in hoiku… but read the fine print, perhaps your new nursery would be 30 minute away.
