Gumi-si, Gyeongbuk, Designates 5 New 'Part-Time Childcare' Centers... Total of 8 Centers Operating, Easing Parenting Burden
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Gumi City, Gyeongbuk Province, has designated five additional daycare centers for part-time childcare operations.
Gumi City supports the 'Part-time Childcare' program to reduce the childcare burden on parents and provide safe childcare.
The newly designated daycare centers are Lael (Yangpo-dong), Tamgu Nara (Doryang-dong), Ajin (Yangpo-dong), Seohan (Indong-dong), and Sagok Danyeong (Sangmo Sagok-dong), totaling five locations.
Including the existing centers Hana Dul Chingu (Indong-dong), Dongwon (Wonpyeong-dong), and Yogebet (Seonju Wonnam-dong), a total of eight centers are now operating.
The part-time childcare support program provides up to 80 hours per month of childcare for infants aged 6 months to under 36 months who are cared for at home but need to use daycare due to reasons such as caregiver hospital visits, outings, or short working hours.
This program is a great help to parents struggling with no place to leave their children.
