[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) held the 2021 Night of Childcare Staff event titled “A Warm Night Sharing Warmth ON(ON)line” on the 16th for 140 local daycare centers.

Hosted by the Geumcheon-gu Childcare Support Center, the event was conducted in real-time online format and minimal face-to-face sessions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In the first part, the 140 daycare centers formed teams as “Geumcheon-gu Childcare Teachers” to create seven-line acrostic poems, participate in an online Golden Bell quiz, and take group photos online, reflecting on 2021 and encouraging one another.

The second part included awards for exemplary childcare staff and a play case contest ceremony. Six representatives were awarded on behalf of 46 exemplary childcare staff who dedicated themselves to providing quality childcare throughout the year. The play case contest, aimed at practicing play-centered childcare and enhancing infants’ and toddlers’ autonomy and creativity, honored six daycare centers including the Geurip Doksanbong-dong Daycare Center, which received the grand prize.

The Geumcheon-gu Childcare Support Center is promoting various projects such as the “Substitute Teacher and Substitute Cook Support Project” to minimize staffing gaps in daycare centers and the “Mind Care Support Project” to relieve stress among childcare staff.

Additionally, they plan to provide multifaceted support to create a safe and comfortable childcare environment through measures such as lending quarantine equipment and safety education for childcare staff.

Mayor Yuseonghun of Geumcheon-gu said, “I thank the directors and staff who have worked hard to ensure our children grow up properly during the prolonged COVID-19 situation,” and added, “We will continue to listen carefully to various voices from the field and do our best to provide a safe and better childcare environment.”
