This daycare center is the first public daycare specialized for children with disabilities in Jeju. It was established within Barammoru Park with a total floor area of 597㎡. To facilitate mobility for children with disabilities, it is equipped with features such as ramps, a program room that also serves as a therapy room, and a speech therapy room furnished with specialized teaching aids.

Experts in children with disabilities, including speech therapists, sensory integration therapists, and special education teachers with over five years of experience, have been hired to provide safe and professional care and education. Hana Financial also donated a 15-passenger Starex vehicle for the children.

The opening ceremony held the previous afternoon was attended by Park Seung, Chairman of the Hana Financial Social Value Committee, Ham Young-joo, Vice Chairman of Hana Financial, and Kim Tae-yeop, Mayor of Seogwipo, who toured the daycare center and celebrated its opening.

Chairman Park said, “I hope that children grow up healthily without prejudice or discrimination against each other at Jeju’s first specialized daycare center for children with disabilities, established through cooperation between Hana Financial and local governments.”
