Gyeonggi-do Designates 75 New Public-Type Childcare Centers, Increasing Total to 660

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will designate 75 additional public-type daycare centers. To this end, the province will recruit interested daycare centers within the province to participate in the project from the 7th to the 16th.

Public-type daycare centers are selected from among excellent private and home daycare centers, receiving operational support and providing high-quality childcare to infants and toddlers under strengthened operational standards.

With the addition of these 75 centers, the total number of public-type daycare centers in the province will increase from 585 to 660.

Daycare centers wishing to participate can apply by visiting the Childcare Integrated Information System (www.cpms.childcare.go.kr).

Gyeonggi Province will comprehensively consider factors such as ▲evaluation certification results ▲compliance with the Infant and Toddler Care Act and guidelines ▲whether the representative and director operate or are employed at other facilities ▲building ownership type (owned, leased, etc.) ▲and operation of vulnerable childcare services when selecting the daycare centers that applied for public-type designation.

Detailed information on participation requirements and designation criteria can be found on the Gyeonggi Provincial Government website.

Gyeonggi Province will support the selected public-type daycare centers with 400,000 KRW per month for each basic childcare class, 600,000 KRW per class for preschool class operation expenses, 15,000 KRW per child for education and environment expenses, 30,000 KRW for operational activation expenses, and 700,000 to 1,000,000 KRW for cook staff wages depending on the number of children.

Lee Jeong-hwa, Director of the Childcare Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We ask for the interest and participation of many high-quality excellent daycare centers, and we will continue to expand public-type and national/public daycare centers to provide high-level childcare services that parents can trust and entrust their children to."
