District Mayor Choi Hogwon: "We Will Spare No Support to Ensure Parents and Teachers Can Provide Quality Childcare Environment"

Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that on the 11th at 10 a.m., it will hold the ‘Daycare Center Festival’ at Yeongdeungpo Park, where young children can freely run and play, and families and childcare teachers can come together in harmony.

The ‘Daycare Center Festival’ is Yeongdeungpo’s representative early childhood festival where national, public, private, workplace, and home daycare centers and parents communicate and enjoy together. It promotes physical and emotional development for children and provides opportunities for harmony and exchange among families and childcare teachers.

The festival will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the day, with about 2,000 participants including staff and families. This year, the theme is ‘Science and Creativity’ to create differentiation. Since the district has consistently emphasized ‘Science education is the future’ and promoted science-centered ‘future education,’ the festival’s experiences and activities will highlight ‘science’ so that children can find science easy and fun.

Last year, Choi Ho-gwon, the Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, who transformed into a traditional taffy seller at the daycare center festival, is interacting with children.

At the center of Yeongdeungpo Park, where the event is held, the main stage will be located, with ▲ a flea market ▲ more than 20 science experience booths ▲ a play zone ▲ and a resting area for parents on both sides.

On the main stage, a ‘Science Magic Show’ will run until 2 p.m., and at the experience booths, activities such as robot toys, coding, and making scientific toys will take place. In the play zone, large air bounces, a sand playground, and a ball pool play area will attract children’s attention. At the flea market, toys, stationery, clothing, and more can be found at affordable prices.

In the future, the district plans to integrate scientific content into festivals that children and adolescents can enjoy as a science city, enabling learning and growth, and to establish the one-time festival as a sustainable event.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “We will spare no support so that parents and childcare staff can raise and care for children in a high-quality environment,” and added, “We will make every effort in all fields to provide a better life and hope to the children who are the future of Yeongdeungpo.”
