[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will open the first and second branches of the Uri Dongne Care Center in Gwanak starting on the 8th to address the blind spots in elementary school care and resolve care gaps due to the increasing demand for social care, such as the rise in dual-income households.

The ‘Uri Dongne Care Center’ is an after-school care program for elementary students, available to any child aged 6 to 12 who needs care regardless of their parents' income level.

The center provides ‘regular care,’ operated regularly with a center director and care teachers on site, and ‘temporary care,’ which supports care during school closures or emergencies involving users. It also offers special activities such as homework guidance, reading programs, and arts and physical education activities.

Operating hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the school term and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. during vacations. The fee for regular care, including snack costs, is 50,000 KRW per month, and temporary care costs 2,500 KRW per day.

The Gwanak 1st branch Uri Dongne Care Center is located in Seorim-dong (38 Chamsut 5-gil, Gwanak-gu, 1st floor of Seogwang Senior Center) with an area of 102.62㎡, and the Gwanak 2nd branch Uri Dongne Care Center is located in Sinwon-dong (18 Munseong-ro 32-gil, Gwanak-gu, 3rd floor of Shinil Senior Center) with an area of 92.25㎡.

Due to COVID-19, the centers started operation without an opening ceremony. Residents wishing to use the service can apply by visiting after registering via the Uri Dongne Care Portal or by phone.

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Gwanak 1st or 2nd branch.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to establish a systematic care system to meet the increasing demand for emergency care. The Uri Dongne Care Center will help resolve the blind spots in elementary care, and we will do our best to provide high-quality community elementary care services so that children can use the service healthily and happily.”
