The opening ceremony was attended by Baek Younghyun, mayor of Pocheon, Lim Jonghun, chairman of the Pocheon City Council, other city council members, childcare professionals, and parents, who celebrated this new start toward realizing a care community.

'Pocheonaebom 365 Daycare Center' is a 24-hour public care facility for children from 6 months old to under 7 years of age, providing uninterrupted care at night, on weekends, and on holidays. It was established to implement a child-centered, customized care system in response to changing parenting environments, such as the increase in dual-income families and the growing demand for emergency care.

In particular, by linking with Pocheon's elementary care service 'Pocheonaebom 365,' it is expected to become an integrated care model that provides seamless care from infants and toddlers to elementary school students.

Pocheon City plans to strengthen accessibility by expanding the service area from Sineup to Soheul and Ildong, so that more families can use the 365-day care service.

'Pocheonaebom 365 Daycare Center' is open to all Gyeonggi Province residents. Same-day use can be applied for by phone until 3 p.m., while night and early morning care must be reserved by 6 p.m. the previous day. The usage fee is 3,000 won per hour.

Baek Younghyun, mayor of Pocheon, stated, "'Pocheonaebom 365 Daycare Center' is not just a childcare space, but a place where children, parents, and the community grow together," adding, "Pocheon City will go beyond simple protection-based care to realize a Pocheon-style integrated care model in which the community shares responsibility for children's daily lives and growth."
