Gwangju Nam-gu, Parents Conduct Monitoring at 107 Local Sites

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will conduct monitoring of 107 daycare centers in the district together with parents.

On the 4th, Nam-gu announced that it will carry out parent monitoring of 107 daycare centers in the district for about three weeks from that day until the 22nd to create a safe childcare environment and build strong trust between parents raising children and daycare centers.

Parent monitoring aims to realize demand-centered childcare policies and improve the quality of childcare services. In March this year, Nam-gu selected about 10 childcare and health experts with outstanding qualifications and work experience through an open recruitment process.

They will focus on inspecting four key areas of daycare centers in the district: meals, hygiene, health, and safety management. Through consulting by expert members, feedback results will be provided to the daycare centers in the district.

Detailed inspection items include nutritional balance of meals, compliance with the principle of consuming food cooked on the same day, cleanliness of the kitchen, indoor air quality and temperature, adherence to infectious disease prevention and management rules for infants and childcare staff, availability of emergency medicines, safety of indoor and outdoor play facilities, and fulfillment of safety requirements for pick-up and drop-off vehicles.

A Nam-gu official stated, "The inspection results conducted by the parent monitoring team will be notified to the parents and operation committees of the respective daycare centers, and if serious violations are suspected, separate inspections will be conducted."
