Asan City Expands Part-Time Childcare Services

From the Second Half of the Year, 7 Additional Classes... Usable Within 60 Hours per Month

Asan City, Chungnam Province, is expanding its part-time childcare services for daycare centers.

Asan City in Chungnam announced on the 3rd that it will expand its part-time childcare services by operating 7 additional classes starting in the second half of this year.

Part-time childcare is a service that provides care on an hourly basis when a care gap occurs due to reasons such as hospital visits, outings, or short-term work for parents of children who are cared for at home and do not use daycare centers.

Currently, Asan City's part-time childcare facilities are operated as independent classes in three daycare centers, including the Asan Childcare Comprehensive Support Center.

The city plans to operate 7 additional integrated classes from the second half of the year, utilizing the unfilled capacity of regular childcare classes as part-time childcare to minimize care gaps.

The part-time childcare service can be used on an hourly basis after making a reservation in advance through the I-Sarang website and app, and can be used up to 60 hours per month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

An official from Asan City said, “We will strive to expand the number of institutions operating part-time childcare to improve the childcare environment,” and added, “By establishing a flexible integrated system of regular and part-time childcare, we expect that the service will be easily accessible.”
