[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] KCC (CEO Jung Mongjin) has relocated and opened the 'KCC Workplace Daycare Center' in a newly constructed annex building next to its headquarters in Seocho-gu to alleviate employees' childcare concerns and foster a joyful corporate culture.

The KCC Workplace Daycare Center spans 312.84㎡ (approximately 95 pyeong) and is equipped with three childcare rooms, a director's office, teachers' room, playroom, study room, and kitchen. The interior is designed as an eco-friendly space with high-quality ventilation systems, creating a natural and comfortable environment for both children and teachers, ensuring a healthy living environment for childcare.

The daycare has a capacity of 42 children and is open to infants and toddlers aged 1 to 5 years old who are children of KCC and KCC Glass employees. Specialized teachers are assigned to age-appropriate classrooms, including an infant class for 1-2 year olds and a toddler class for 3-5 year olds, allowing employees to entrust their children with confidence.

In particular, the KCC Workplace Daycare Center operates a systematic educational program not only for childcare but also to help children develop emotional stability and open-minded thinking. The program follows the so-called 'Reggio Emilia Approach,' which encourages children's innate curiosity and interest in learning. An open library is provided to help children enjoy reading, and various group activities teach the value and joy of cooperation.

Special attention is also given to the children's meals. The daycare allocates a meal budget more than twice the government guideline standard to provide high-quality meals. Using fresh ingredients supplied daily and balanced menus designed by professional nutritionists, the center strives to offer children delicious and nutritious meals.

An employee who entrusted their child to the KCC Workplace Daycare Center last year said, "Even when sleepy in the morning, my child insists on going to the daycare," and added, "Being able to leave my child at the daycare with peace of mind allows me to focus on work, which seems to improve my work efficiency."

A KCC representative emphasized, "Through the workplace daycare center, we provide high-quality educational programs and do our best to support employees so they can focus on work without difficulties caused by childcare issues," and added, "With the new daycare center opened in the annex, childcare will be provided in an even more pleasant and safe environment."
