Gyeonggi-do to Accept Second Round of Applications for Infant and Toddler Educational Materials Delivery Service Starting July 21

Starting from July 21, Gyeonggi-do will accept the second round of applications for the "Infant and Toddler Educational Materials and Teaching Aids Delivery Service." This follows the first round of applications in May, during which educational materials and teaching aids were delivered to 4,151 households with infants and toddlers aged 0 to 35 months in June.

This project is part of the 8th popularly elected administration's childcare pledge, aiming to promote play culture at home and support parenting by providing educational materials and teaching aids tailored to developmental stages, as well as play consulting.

The support is targeted at vulnerable households with infants and toddlers aged 0 to 35 months residing in the province, including basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty households, and single-parent families.

In addition, households with children aged 0 to 11 months who are cared for at home and do not use childcare facilities, as well as general households with children aged 12 to 35 months, are also eligible to apply. In these cases, applicants should check the announcements on the local Childcare Support Center website for their area of residence (https://url.kr/pxb28b) before applying.

Gyeonggi-do will not only provide educational materials and teaching aids, but will also offer non-face-to-face education that includes instructions on how to use the materials and teaching aids, as well as play ideas.

Households that wish to do so can also apply for advanced play coaching through play instructors assigned to each city and county.

Go Hyunsook, Director of Childcare Policy at Gyeonggi-do, said, "By providing educational materials, teaching aids, and play education tailored to developmental stages, we aim to boost parents' confidence in play and help guarantee the play rights of infants and toddlers."

Gyeonggi-do supported 4,440 households last year, and has expanded the target to 15,990 households this year. The third round of applications is scheduled to take place around September.
