The online application portal for childcare subsidies has been opened, and various places have introduced detailed rules for the reduction or exemption of childcare education fees.

Since July this year, our country has successively introduced two favorable policies for the people: childcare subsidies and free childcare education fees for preschool classes in kindergartens. According to the policies, starting from January 1 this year, regardless of whether it's the first child, second child, or third child, parents can receive an annual subsidy of 3600 yuan until the child reaches 3 years old. In terms of preschool education, all children in the senior kindergarten classes can also be exempted from childcare education fees. The application for childcare subsidies can be done online or offline. Currently, the online application portals on third-party platforms such as Alipay and WeChat have started trial operations. Local preparations for offline application for childcare subsidies are also basically ready. Starting from this autumn semester, all children in the senior kindergarten classes will enjoy free childcare education fees. Various regions have successively issued implementation rules.
