[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seongap) opened two new public daycare centers on the 1st to create an environment where childcare can be provided with peace of mind.

The newly opened daycare centers are the Jayang Dodam Daycare Center and Junggok Hana Daycare Center, increasing the number of public daycare centers in Gwangjin-gu from 52 to 54.

Jayang Dodam Daycare Center, located in Jayang 1-dong, is a 4-story building with a total floor area of 497.98㎡, equipped with childcare rooms that can care for 86 infants and toddlers, as well as a kitchen and teachers' rooms.

In particular, Junggok Hana Daycare Center was established as a result of Gwangjin-gu being selected for the "Hana Financial Group Public-Private Partnership Public Daycare Center Support Project" and was created in cooperation with organizations such as the Hansol Childcare Foundation.

Gwangjin-gu opened 9 public daycare centers in 2018, 6 in 2019, 3 in 2020, and 2 in the first half of this year. As of May, 2,428 children, accounting for 45% of the 5,391 children in the area, are using public daycare centers.

The district plans to accelerate the expansion of public daycare centers that parents can trust by converting two daycare centers in apartment complexes to public facilities in the second half of this year.

Mayor Kim Seongap of Gwangjin-gu said, "The district plans to continuously expand public daycare centers not only by establishing new centers but also by converting existing private, home-based, and apartment complex daycare centers into public ones. We will create a healthy and safe environment where children can be raised with peace of mind."
