The certificate counter, the ward's developmental consultation, the school-entry consultation and the foreign-resident help desk in Edogawa — in English, with the official page each number comes from — and how to reach our classroom in Waseda from there.
Child development support (児童発達支援, jidō hattatsu shien) is a public service for preschool children whose development needs extra support. If your child is registered as a resident in Edogawa, the certificate that lets your child use it (通所受給者証) is issued by Edogawa — and it can be used at a classroom in another ward, including ours in Waseda, Shinjuku. Nationality is not what matters; your child's resident registration is.
Below are the Edogawa offices you will actually deal with, copied from the ward's official website on 2026-08-22, with a link to the page each number comes from. If you would like us to walk you through the process in English first, send us a message — many families visit us before they go to the ward.
