Damyang-gun Accelerates Efforts to Create a 'Child-Friendly, Happy Family City'

Providing Various Support Policies for Marriage, Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Childcare Stages

Establishing a Comprehensive Care System through Community Child Centers, Childcare Services, and Nighttime Operation of Daycare Centers

On the 3rd, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it is making various efforts to create a favorable environment for having and raising children by promoting various support policies throughout the entire process of marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, including childbirth incentives.

To this end, the county is implementing projects such as standard prenatal examination fees for pregnant women for the health of mothers and children, safety equipment support for infants and toddlers in multi-child families, and diaper support projects for families with three or more children.

In addition, by operating a childcare goods sharing market in connection with the Family Center, it is alleviating economic burdens and focusing on support for childcare.

The county provides protection, education, and healthy play at local children's centers for children who need after-school care due to the increase in dual-income families and vulnerable family environments.

Currently, in Damyang-gun, there are nine local children's centers (in six eup and myeon areas) in addition to the Damyang Local Children's Center, serving 264 children.

Local children's centers help children grow healthily not only by caring for them but also through individualized learning support to improve academic skills, reading guidance, general life guidance, and various cultural experiences.

The county supports the smooth operation of local children's centers by providing operating expenses as well as functional reinforcement costs and heating and cooling expenses, and also supports comprehensive insurance enrollment and health checkups for children's safety.

Since the 8th term of the civilian administration, efforts have been actively made to improve the treatment of workers, such as expanding holiday allowances, aiming to enhance the quality of local children's centers.

Furthermore, to fill the gaps in infant and toddler care, extended childcare is operated until 7:30 p.m. at a total of 12 daycare centers, and night care is provided until midnight at Eden Baby Daycare Center.

Additionally, the ‘Childcare Service’ that visits homes in need to provide care services is being expanded to fill childcare gaps, and plans are being considered to expand county funding for the personal burden of care services to reduce the burden on guardians.

County Governor Lee Byeong-no stated, “We will continue to create ‘Damyang, a good place to raise children and a happy home’ by providing various family support projects and high-quality childcare services.”
