Gangseo-gu, Seoul, will conduct safety inspections and meal and hygiene checks at daycare centers in the district until mid-August.


This inspection is being carried out to ensure the safety of infants and toddlers by preventing food poisoning and other issues during the summer season.


The district will conduct on-site safety and meal hygiene inspections at 165 daycare centers in the area, while the remaining daycare centers will perform self-inspections according to the checklist.


The main inspection items include ▲personal hygiene, cooking, and meal cleanliness management ▲facility, fine dust, and school vehicle safety management ▲COVID-19 prevention and disinfection management status.


The district informs all daycare centers in advance about the inspection plan to encourage self-inspection.


Minor violations such as lack of familiarity with regulations will be corrected immediately on-site to promote voluntary environmental improvements in the future. In cases of violations of regulations such as the Infant Care Act, administrative actions such as correction orders will be issued.


Additionally, the district will support maintaining a safe and hygienic environment by distributing on-site response manuals, food poisoning prevention guidelines, and promoting proper handwashing habits.



A district official stated, “Through thorough on-site inspections during the summer, when food poisoning is more likely to occur, we will create a proper meal facility environment and raise safety awareness among daycare center staff,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create a healthy and safe childcare environment.”
