[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hana Financial Group announced on the 31st that it held the opening ceremonies for the public daycare centers 'Bangok Hana Daycare Center' and 'Haemil Hana Daycare Center' located in Sejong City.

'Bangok Hana Daycare Center' and 'Haemil Hana Daycare Center' are the 44th and 45th daycare centers completed as part of Hana Financial Group's project to establish 100 daycare centers, and were built through a public-private partnership between Hana Financial Group and Sejong City.

Sejong City has the highest proportion of young people and infants nationwide, and ranks first in birth rate. Among its districts, Bangok-dong and Haemil-dong have recently seen a rapid increase in population due to the supply of large-scale apartment complexes, resulting in increased demand for childcare. However, due to a shortage of childcare facilities, waiting lists have accumulated, making the expansion of childcare facilities urgent.

The newly opened 'Bangok Hana Daycare Center' and 'Haemil Hana Daycare Center' are each located on the first floor of the Bangok-dong and Haemil-dong complex community centers. The daycare centers have capacities of 97 children (Bangok) and 94 children (Haemil), with total floor areas of 945㎡ (Bangok) and 907㎡ (Haemil). Both centers are designed as creative spaces inspired by forests, allowing children to feel comfortable and familiar, and are expected to contribute to the expansion of high-quality childcare facilities.

In particular, play spaces such as caves for children to explore like in a forest, indoor camping zones, and forest playgrounds have been created to provide nature-friendly play areas. To implement a smart, future-oriented daycare center, programs and smart devices have been actively introduced for smart education.

At the opening ceremony, Hana Financial Group Vice Chairman Young-Joo Ham and Sejong City Mayor Chun-Hee Lee attended, toured the daycare center spaces, celebrated the openings, and encouraged the childcare staff.

Vice Chairman Young-Joo Ham of Hana Financial Group stated, “We feel very honored and pleased to donate high-quality public daycare centers where childcare facilities are needed through Hana Financial Group’s project to establish 100 daycare centers,” adding, “We will continue to actively contribute to creating a trustworthy childcare environment and closing the childcare gap.”
