Jeongeup-si Promotes Support Project for Environmental Improvement of Private Childcare Centers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk announced on the 20th that it will promote the ‘Private and Home Daycare Center Environment Improvement Support Project.’

This project supports small-scale renovation costs due to facility aging such as emergency evacuation facilities directly related to the safety of infants and toddlers and insulation.

Recently, due to low birth rates and the impact of COVID-19, this project aims to support the renovation of daycare center facilities facing operational difficulties, creating a childcare environment where children using daycare centers can be raised healthily in comfortable and safe facilities.

The project targets a total of 10 centers, including 5 private daycare centers and 5 home daycare centers, with a project budget of 40 million KRW.

The project was announced in May, received and reviewed project plans, and after evaluation, the final selection was made last month, with plans to complete the project by September.

Through this support, the childcare environment of private daycare centers, which are burdened with facility investments due to the sharp decline in childcare children caused by low birth rates and the mandatory daycare center evaluation certification, is expected to improve significantly.

A city official said, “Through the newly promoted environment improvement fund support for private and home daycare centers, we will create a childcare environment where all children can grow up safely and healthily, building a city where parents and children are happy.”
