Five Eco-Friendly Daycare Centers Established in Gwangjin-gu
Five Children's Centers Established as Eco-Friendly Childcare Facilities... Contributing to the Adoption of Nature-, Child-, and Play-Centered Childcare Curriculum, Moving Away from Traditional Care Methods
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has been selected for the '2020 Eco-friendly Childcare Center' contest organized by Seoul City and will establish five hub eco-friendly childcare centers.
This project was prepared to promote eco-friendly childcare that increases nature experiences and play activities in line with the implementation of the revised 2019 Nuri Curriculum, breaking away from the existing teacher-centered uniform childcare methods and establishing a childcare culture centered on nature, children, and play without restrictions of time and space.
Accordingly, the district selected five locations, including Nutinamu Childcare Center in Hwayang-dong and Dongseong Childcare Center in Jayang-dong, as hub eco-friendly childcare centers and began full-scale operations this month.
The hub eco-friendly childcare centers will receive professional consulting, opportunities to observe excellent facilities, and support for research and education through small groups sharing achievements to improve childcare teachers' awareness.
Additionally, support will be provided for purchasing teaching materials and tools made from natural materials and recyclables, as well as eco-friendly small tools, to improve childcare rooms into nature-friendly indoor spaces.
The district plans to link the hub eco-friendly childcare centers with the existing forest childcare projects at Achasan Infant Forest Experience Center in Junggok-dong and Achasan Ecological Park Infant Forest Experience Center in Gwangjang-dong to promote various nature-friendly childcare programs.
Furthermore, to expand eco-friendly childcare centers, a 'Didimdol Community' research group will be formed for teachers at non-hub childcare centers to conduct education and share best practices.
