Incheon Yeonsu-gu Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, is promoting the establishment of new daycare centers this year in Songdo 2, Songdo 3, Songdo 4, and Songdo 5 neighborhoods to ensure balanced childcare supply and demand within the region and to prevent the proliferation of daycare centers.

To this end, the district operates a preliminary consultation system that provides systematic and professional information regarding local conditions such as childcare demand and daycare center installation standards to those wishing to operate daycare centers.

The district finalized the 2022 daycare center supply and demand plan after deliberation by the Childcare Policy Committee and announced the Yeonsu-gu daycare center supply and demand plan on the district office website on the 8th.

The supply and demand plan includes areas where new installations are possible, general procedures for daycare center installation and modification approvals, precautions, and also guides the operation of the preliminary consultation system for daycare center installation.

Applicants wishing to operate a daycare center will apply for a preliminary consultation right for new daycare center approval, receive consultation, then receive confirmation of site conditions and selection notification, and after submitting the approval application, the final decision will be notified.

Applications for preliminary consultation must be submitted in person by the party intending to establish a daycare center at the Yeonsu-gu Office’s Birth and Childcare Division over two days starting from the 24th.

If the number of applicants for the preliminary consultation right exceeds capacity, selection will be made by lottery, and from the 4th of next month until February 28 of the following year, applicants can receive pre-consultation with related departments and professional counseling for new installations.

Detailed information can be found in the '2022 Daycare Center Supply and Demand Plan Announcement' on the official Yeonsu-gu Office website under notices.
