Bucheon-si Expands Support for Vulnerable Childcare Centers... Additional Designation of Night-Extended Childcare Centers

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 20th that it will expand support for vulnerable childcare centers to create a better environment for childcare and eliminate blind spots in care.

The city plans to additionally designate vulnerable childcare centers, including zero-year-old exclusive daycare centers specializing in care for infants aged 0 to 1 (from 14 to 15 centers), integrated daycare centers for children with disabilities to expand support for disabled child care (from 28 to 30 centers), and extended night daycare centers for dual-income families and others (from 95 to 102 centers).

These childcare centers will receive support for labor costs and operating expenses.

Additionally, the city is promoting a 365-day hourly childcare service that allows parents to entrust their children at any time in case of emergencies.

For inquiries about the 365-day hourly childcare service, contact Bucheon City Aram Daycare Center. For other information related to vulnerable childcare, you can check the Pregnancy and Childcare Comprehensive Portal "I Sarang" or the Bucheon City Childcare Support Center.
