[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 18th that it will operate a daycare center parent monitoring group to create a demand-oriented childcare environment through parental participation.

The parent monitoring group is a project in which parents and childcare experts visit daycare centers directly to conduct monitoring and consulting simultaneously. Unlike guidance inspections or evaluations, it encourages the excellent points of daycare centers and presents improvements and consulting needs based on monitoring results by indicators.

Twenty-three daycare centers in the county will form and operate their own monitoring groups, and based on this, the county parent monitoring group will select 12 daycare centers for visit monitoring.

Last month, the county formed a monitoring group consisting of two parents and two childcare experts through an open recruitment process and completed education on major improvement points, activities, and indicators of the parent monitoring group.

Through the monitoring group activities, parents will monitor and provide consultation and opinions on the meal and hygiene management areas, which have a high observation proportion, while childcare experts will monitor and provide consultation on the health and safety management areas, which have a high proportion of documents and interviews.

A county official stated, “Through parent monitoring, communication between daycare centers and parents will be strengthened, and it is expected to help enhance the professionalism of childcare services by creating a childcare environment that parents can trust.”
