Bucheon City Supports Caregiver Talent Donation 'Childcare Pumasi' Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Bucheon City Healthy Family Support Center announced on the 5th that it will support Pumasi activities at seven childcare sharing centers located in Wonmi-dong, Sosa-dong, Songnae-dong, Jung-dong, Dodang-dong, Yeowol-dong, and Okgil-dong for Bucheon citizens.

Pumasi, which is carried out through talent donation by caregivers, targets children under the age of 10 and their caregivers residing in Bucheon.

At the childcare sharing centers, various types of Pumasi activities are conducted, including support for commuting to and from school and care, joint activities such as hobbies and reading, play, arts and physical education, and father-child care. Participating Pumasi families receive a small monthly activity allowance.

Caregivers select topics they want to share with the group and become daily teachers to learn and enjoy with the children. Since they know their children's personalities best, they expand and diversify the scope of activities as the best teachers whom the children can easily follow.

The city expects that these resident-led Pumasi activities will not only help children's social development but also provide opportunities to share childcare information and experience the value of communal childcare.

Groups wishing to participate in Pumasi activities are being recruited continuously. For detailed information on how to apply and the programs, please visit the website (bucheon.familynet.or.kr) or contact the Bucheon City Healthy Family Support Center.

Wang Sun-gyeong, director of the Bucheon City Healthy Family Support Center, said, "We hope that through Pumasi activities, caregivers can reduce childcare stress and experience the joy of raising children together."
