Kakao announced on the 7th that it won the Grand Prize (Minister of Employment and Labor Award) in the operation case category at the "Workplace Daycare Center Childcare Program and Operation Case Contest" hosted by the Workplace Division Committee of the Korea Childcare Association.

The Workplace Daycare Center Childcare Program and Operation Case Contest is an event aimed at discovering and disseminating excellent operation cases of workplace daycare centers to improve the quality of childcare and present desirable workplace daycare center operation models. Kakao's Neul Yesol Daycare Center received the Grand Prize from the Minister of Employment and Labor in the operation case category for its project "Our Happy Digital World," which was highly recognized for its childcare direction and programs tailored to the digital era.

The project was planned to clearly establish the concept of digital technology for young children who are already familiar with digital devices from birth at home. It utilized play-based education methods to teach how to use digital technology healthily and safely and how to protect children's rights in the digital environment. In particular, to create a safe digital environment, activities such as teacher training through the Kakao Impact Foundation, donation campaigns with Kakao Together Value Partners, parent education, home-linked activities, and internal activities were conducted together.

Meanwhile, Kakao recognizes the importance of children's digital rights and plans to continuously support prioritizing the respect for children and youth digital rights this year. Based on Kakao's principles toward a better digital world, it plans to propose ways for children and youth to learn and grow healthily.

A Kakao representative said, "We will continue to develop various digital-related programs for young children and work to establish systems that guarantee the rights of young children in the digital environment."
