[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) opened the 5th branch of Ai·Mom Gangdong, a representative childcare infrastructure facility in Gangdong, on the 22nd.

The district installs Ai·Mom Gangdong by region and operates it directly, striving to respect the play rights of infants and toddlers and to spread a culture of raising children together.

Ai·Mom Gangdong is divided and operated into ▲Toy Library ▲Open Playground where parents can play together ▲Ai Jaramteo, a play program space to promote infant and toddler development, providing customized services for each branch.

The 5th branch, Amsa, has an exclusive area of 128.3㎡ and is located in Amsa 3-dong (7 Godeok-ro 27-gil, Geumjeong Wooriga Apartment Unit 103), operating a toy library that rents toys, books, and childcare products.

Following the toy libraries at the 2nd Cheonho branch and the 3rd Gangil branch, the toy library at the 5th Amsa branch provides an environment of play, by play, and for play, creating an experiential space where infants and toddlers can choose toys with their parents as a form of play.

Operating hours are Tuesday to Saturday (closed on Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a break from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for lunch and disinfection/maintenance.

The Ai·Mom Gangdong Toy Library operates on a membership basis, and after registering, members can use all toy library branches operated by Ai·Mom Gangdong (up to 2 toys and 3 books per branch). The annual membership fee is 20,000 KRW.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, the Ai·Mom Gangdong Toy Library operates by online reservation to ensure the health and safety of users, and the 5th Amsa branch will start operation from May 4.

Considering user convenience, online reservations will be available from 10 a.m. on May 4 (Tuesday) through the newly rebuilt homepage reservation system. Detailed application methods can be found on the Gangdong Children's Center website or by contacting the Ai·Mom Gangdong Amsa branch.
