From Public Transition to Renovation... Jisan Kindergarten in Saha-gu, Busan, Starts Anew↑

Opening as a Public Kindergarten in 2022

Creating a Comfortable Educational Environment through Remodeling

‘Jisan Kindergarten’ in Saha-gu, Busan, has completed its renovation and is making a fresh start in a safe and comfortable educational environment.

The Busan Western Office of Education (Superintendent Lee Jaehan) announced on the 26th that it has remodeled the outdated facilities of Jisan Kindergarten and will begin operating the curriculum for 5 classes and 47 children.

Jisan Kindergarten is one of the private kindergartens converted to public ones in areas where securing new sites for kindergartens was difficult, according to the city education office’s plan for new and expanded public kindergartens. It opened as a public kindergarten in 2022 but had faced difficulties in curriculum operation due to its old facilities.

The Western Office of Education has been carrying out the remodeling project of Jisan Kindergarten since August last year, investing 2.9 billion KRW to provide a safe and comfortable educational environment for the children.

Jisan Kindergarten reopens with facilities covering a total floor area of 1,198.55㎡, including 6 general classrooms, a multipurpose room, and a cafeteria, in a building with one basement floor and three above-ground floors. In particular, a connecting corridor and an elevator were added to ensure safe movement for the children.

In the newly established comfortable educational environment, Jisan Kindergarten welcomes children and parents with various curricula such as ‘Character Education’ opened through books and ‘Cultural and Arts Education’ that nurtures both body and mind.

Lee Jaehan, Superintendent of the Western Office of Education, said, “I thank the parents, kindergarten staff, and Borim Elementary School officials who allowed temporary use of some classrooms for enduring various inconveniences during the preparation for reopening. We will strive to improve the educational environment of frontline kindergartens so that diverse and creative curricula suitable for the developmental stages of young children can be operated.”
