Operating the Most Public Daycare Centers in Seoul with 109 Locations... Rising as a Childcare City

Among the 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok), which has the largest number of public daycare centers, announced on the 19th that it has newly constructed and opened the 109th public Hillstate I-Pyeonhansesang daycare center.

The public Hillstate I-Pyeonhansesang daycare center was established with a total project cost of 260 million KRW, including 208 million KRW from national and city funds and 56 million KRW from district funds. It opened on the first floor of the Hillstate e-Pyeonhansesang Munjeong apartment complex in Munjeong-dong, with a total floor area of 752.59㎡ and a capacity of 95 children.

The district explained that through the reconstruction and maintenance project, it aimed to create a stable public childcare environment within the newly settled Hillstate e-Pyeonhansesang Munjeong complex (around 136 Munjeong-dong) by promptly opening the mandatory childcare facility installed in the community facility as a public daycare center.

To open the daycare center, a free lease contract was signed with the association in August, and facility remodeling work and equipment support were provided.

The facility consists of eight childcare rooms, a director’s office, a teachers’ room, a playroom, and a kitchen, and has been operating since accepting new students from November.

With this new construction and opening, the childcare demand within the newly settled apartment complex consisting of 14 buildings and 1,265 households has been resolved, providing high-quality public childcare to children and maximizing satisfaction among local users.

Songpa-gu has the highest number of public daycare centers among Seoul’s autonomous districts. It was the first district in Seoul to surpass 100 centers in 2020, and with the opening of this Hillstate I-Pyeonhansesang daycare center, it now operates 109 public daycare centers.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “We are very pleased to establish a public daycare center within the complex that parents desire,” and added, “We will continue to expand public daycare centers in line with active redevelopment and reconstruction projects, provide various childcare services, and create a high-quality public childcare environment that parents can trust and rely on.”
