After-School and Vacation Care Services Provided
Children's Cafeteria Also Established in a Separate Space

On the 25th, Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 26th that it opened the 'Together Care Center No. 18' and the 'Ijoayang Children's Restaurant' for children in care at Hansup City, Namsa-eup, Cheoin-gu.


Hansup City, where the center is located, is a densely populated area with a total of 7 complexes and 6,800 households, making it one of the areas with the highest demand for care in the Yongin region. The newly opened Together Care Center and Children's Restaurant were established by utilizing two spaces totaling 198㎡ within a commercial building that the city received as a donation in 2019 during the apartment development project.

The center offers special programs to assist children from dual-income families who need care after school and during vacation periods with basic daily life and homework. Additionally, through the separately prepared 'Ijoayang Children's Restaurant,' the city explained that it provides a comprehensive care service. A city official emphasized, "This is the first case among Together Care Centers in Gyeonggi Province where the educational space and dining area are separated."


The price for one meal at the children's restaurant is 2,000 KRW. During the school term, only dinner is provided, while during vacations, both lunch and dinner are served. The restaurant can accommodate 20 people dining at once, and food is prepared for 45 people.


At the opening ceremony, Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "President Yoon Suk-yeol personally visited Yongin City to hold a public discussion on people’s livelihood and promised support for infrastructure development for urban advancement," adding, "We will spare no support and encouragement so that children can happily grow up in this excellent facility and become the future of the Republic of Korea."



Meanwhile, Yongin City plans to establish three more Together Care Centers within this year, operating a total of 21 centers.
