Gyeonggi-do Designates 75 Public-Type Childcare Centers... Total Reaches 660

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province has newly designated 75 public-type daycare centers. As a result, the number of public-type daycare centers in the province will increase to 660. The newly designated public-type daycare centers will operate for three years starting from October 1.

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

Gyeonggi Province comprehensively considered factors such as ▲evaluation certification results ▲compliance with the Infant Care Act and guidelines ▲whether the representative and director operate or are employed at other facilities ▲building ownership type (owned, leased, etc.) ▲operation of vulnerable childcare services, among 130 daycare centers recommended by city and county governments to make the final selection.

Selected public-type daycare centers will receive support based on the number of teachers, classes, and children: 400,000 KRW per month for each basic education class, 600,000 KRW per month for each preschool class, 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 size of the children.

Lee Jeong-hwa, Director of the Childcare Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, emphasized, "We will continue to expand public-type daycare centers and national/public daycare centers to provide high-quality childcare services that parents can trust."
