[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Members of the Environment and Welfare Committee of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council (Chairperson Shin Su-jeong) visited the Childcare Comprehensive Support Center, their affiliated institution, on the 3rd to inspect its operational status.

They checked the facilities within the center, including the Toy Library, Emergency Childcare Center, and Kiwoomtteul Indoor Playground.

In particular, they requested the expansion of the Emergency Childcare Centers, which currently exist only in two locations (Seo-gu and Gwangsan-gu), to every district to minimize gaps in child care.

They then received a report from Director Guk Ji-yoon on the ongoing projects at the center and matters related to the employment of substitute teachers at daycare centers, followed by a discussion on future directions.

The committee members also demanded appropriate measures regarding personnel recruitment issues at the Childcare Comprehensive Support Center, prevention of recurrence, improvement of staff welfare, and strengthening of center disinfection to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Chairperson Shin Su-jeong of the Environment and Welfare Committee stated, "The role of the Childcare Comprehensive Support Center is crucial in creating a safe childcare environment for our children," adding, "Since the center's operation has been managed by the Social Service Agency starting this year, I hope you will do your best to realize happy childcare where we raise and smile together by strengthening the public nature of childcare and improving service quality."
