Ulsan Designates 14 'Public-Type Childcare Centers,' Expanding to 103 Locations

Creating a Childcare Environment That Strengthens Public Interest

Ulsan City is continuously expanding public-type daycare centers.

On the 26th at 11 a.m., Ulsan City will hold the '2023 Newly Designated Public-Type Daycare Center Certificate and Plaque Presentation Ceremony' in the mid-sized conference room on the 4th floor of the City Hall main building, attended by Seo Jeong-wook, Deputy Mayor, and Park Kyung-hee, President of the Ulsan Public-Type Daycare Center Association.

Public-type daycare centers are selected among daycare centers that do not receive personnel expenses support, and operating expenses are provided to those that are excellent. This system is promoted to provide a high-quality childcare environment for infants and young children by applying strengthened operational standards.

This time, 14 new public-type daycare centers have been designated. Newly designated daycare centers will receive operating expenses support for three years, including teacher personnel expenses, preschool class operating expenses, educational environment improvement expenses, and cook personnel expenses. To maintain and improve the quality of excellent childcare, they will undergo a re-designation process every three years according to evaluation criteria.

An official from Ulsan City said, "We will continue to expand public-type daycare centers and national/public daycare centers to strengthen the public nature of childcare and work harder to create a safe childcare environment that parents can trust and entrust their children to."

Ulsan City introduced the public-type daycare center system in 2011 to strengthen public childcare and improve the quality of childcare services. Including the 14 newly designated centers this time, a total of 103 centers (with 4,911 enrolled infants and young children) are currently operating.
