Opening on July 25... Providing regular and temporary care services regardless of income level

Available to all children aged 6 to 12 who need care

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) opened the “Gwanak Branch No. 4 Our Neighborhood Care Center (3, Euncheon-ro 10-gil, Gwanak-gu)” on the 25th of last month, a place where children can be safely entrusted nearby.

The “Our Neighborhood Care Center” is a facility that provides regular and temporary after-school care to elementary school students in need of care regardless of their parents’ income, offering children a space for rest, leisure, and play.

“Regular care” is available on desired days and times for a fixed period of one month or more, while “temporary care” is available irregularly due to school discretionary holidays (excluding public holidays) or urgent reasons of the user.

The newly opened “Gwanak Branch No. 4” has a capacity of 20 children for regular care and 4 children for temporary care, and is available to any child aged 6 to 12 who needs care.

The hours of operation are from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the school term, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during vacations. The fees are 50,000 KRW per month for regular care and 2,500 KRW per day for temporary care.

Those wishing to use the center can apply via the Seoul “Our Neighborhood Care Portal” or by phone at Gwanak Branch No. 4.

In addition, the district operates Gwanak Branch No. 1 in Seorim-dong, Gwanak Branch No. 2 in Sinwon-dong, and Gwanak Branch No. 3 in Cheongnim-dong, and is preparing to open Gwanak Branch No. 5 in August, making every effort to eliminate after-school care gaps.

A district official stated, “With the continuous increase in social care demand such as dual-income families, Our Neighborhood Care Centers will help eliminate blind spots in elementary school care,” adding, “We will continue to expand and strive to eliminate after-school care gaps and provide high-quality care services.”
