Guro-gu Supports Meal Services at All-Day Care Centers During School Breaks

Guro-gu Provides Meal Support at All-Day Care Centers During School Vacations

Immediate Support Starting This Summer Vacation... Up to 20 Children per Center

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) will begin providing lunchbox support at all-day care centers starting this summer vacation.

Unlike local children's centers and neighborhood care centers, the Guro-style all-day care centers, which utilize community spaces, have not received meal support during school vacations until now.

As a result, dual-income families faced inconveniences such as preparing individual lunchboxes or having to leave work to provide meals for their children.

To address these issues, the district decided to provide lunchboxes at all-day care centers starting this month.

Support will be provided for up to 20 children per center at all-day care centers that offer morning care during vacations and have secured spaces where meals can be eaten. The cost for each lunchbox is 8,000 KRW per meal per person.

The district expects this support to somewhat alleviate the childcare burden on parents.

Mayor Moon Heon-il stated, “Despite difficult financial conditions, we decided to support meals during vacations to resolve difficulties encountered in raising children. We will continue to listen carefully and ensure there are no blind spots in childcare.”

All-day care centers are Guro-style after-school care institutions providing care services to elementary school students regardless of income level, from 1 PM to 7 PM on weekdays. Currently, a total of 16 centers are in operation.
