Our Neighborhood Care Center is a care space where elementary school children aged 6 to 12 can freely use after school.

Children can stay safely, do homework with friends, and participate in various play activities. Any elementary school-aged child in need of care can use the service regardless of their parents' income level.

Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the school term and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during vacations.

The usage fee is 50,000 KRW per month for regular care and 2,500 KRW per day for temporary care. Applications can be made through online reservations on the Our Neighborhood Care Portal or by phone inquiries at the centers (Branches 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9).

Seungro Lee, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "Through the on-site mayor’s office, residents most frequently suggested the need for a space where our children can safely and joyfully play after school and where parents can leave them with peace of mind." He added, "We will continue to expand the Seongbuk-type Our Neighborhood Care Centers, which satisfy not only elementary school children but also their parents, to fill the elementary care gap and realize universal care without blind spots."
