Nationwide First Kidsnote App Introduces Jung-gu Notification Board

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] From now on, parents of children in daycare centers in Jung-gu, Seoul will be able to check all childcare information in the area at a glance on their mobile devices.

Jung-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Seo Yang-ho) has newly established the Jung-gu Notice Board in the Kids Note app, which provides essential local childcare news, becoming the first in the nation to do so.

Kids Note is a notification app used by most early childhood institutions nationwide, including daycare centers and kindergartens in Jung-gu. Kids Note, a Kakao affiliate and the developer, has received favorable reviews for replacing traditional paper notices with smart devices and providing Korea’s first mobile communication service dedicated to early childhood institutions.

On the morning of the 28th of last month, the district office signed a business agreement with Kids Note at the mayor’s office on the 3rd floor of Jung-gu Office and began developing a system to allow easy and convenient access to various news provided by the district through the app.

Until now, when there were urgent notices related to COVID-19 or new childcare policies to be communicated to parents, the district had to contact each daycare center individually to request posting on Kids Note or inform them through the district office website. This multi-step information delivery system made it difficult to ensure immediacy, and parents had the inconvenience of having to visit the district office website to obtain local information.

With the establishment of the Kids Note Jung-gu Notice Board through this business agreement, the district will be able to post new childcare information directly. From now on, parents will be able to check their child’s daycare life, notices, announcements, albums, meal plans, electronic attendance, and more through their smartphones, as well as receive new news provided by the district quickly and conveniently.

Jung-gu is the first district nationwide to build a local government notice board system within the Kids Note app.

Furthermore, the district plans to add functions to link this with the 'Iro-um Homepage,' which is being developed to provide integrated one-stop services for Jung-gu’s unique childcare, education, and care policies.

Thanks to this, all information needed as a child grows?from early childhood care to education and advancement?will be accessible through Kids Note.

This is expected to be especially helpful for working parents and those with limited time. The system construction will be completed by October after the agreement, with full service scheduled to begin in November.

Seo Yang-ho, Mayor of Jung-gu, stated, "We will actively strive to make Jung-gu the number one district that is second to none in childcare, education, and care environments."
