Gangdong-gu Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon Visits Our Neighborhood Care Center at the Forefront of Childcare Gap

Listening Directly to Elementary Care Facility Operations and On-Site Care for the New Semester... Expanding Usage Hours through Thorough COVID-19 Prevention and Emergency Care System Management

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, visited the Our Neighborhood Care Center, which is actively working on the front lines of care gaps caused by COVID-19, on the 16th to mark the new school semester.

This on-site inspection was conducted to check the care environment, which has been operating as an emergency care system according to social distancing levels due to COVID-19 since its opening, listen to the difficulties faced by workers, and prevent potential problems that may arise in the care field in advance.

The inspection targets were the 2nd branch, Myeongil 2-dong Care Center, and the 3rd branch, Gangil-dong Care Center, both opened in December last year.

Currently, these centers are strictly adhering to quarantine guidelines such as regular facility disinfection, stocking of quarantine supplies, temperature checks for care children and workers, and strengthened access control for outsiders. Due to the emergency care system caused by COVID-19, the 2nd branch operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the 3rd branch from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with extended hours during school vacations.

Our Neighborhood Care Center is a facility for children aged 6 to 12 who need care after school or during vacations, providing services such as homework guidance, play activities, cultural, artistic, and sports programs, and snack provision.

The usage fee is within 50,000 KRW per month.

If you wish to use the center, online reservations are available through the Our Neighborhood Care Portal, and inquiries regarding usage can be made by phone to each center.
