Hwacheon County in Gangwon Province completed and opened the Hwacheon County Family Center in Hwacheon-eup in September last year.

The Family Center not only serves as a key policy delivery system for the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family but also continues to run a variety of its own programs.

As part of its family relationship support initiatives, the center is promoting parental education for multicultural families and providing support for bilingual education for their children.

Through its family life support programs, the center helps marriage immigrants with initial settlement and employment, conducts language development assessments and therapy for children from multicultural families, and implements growth support projects for elementary-aged children.

In addition, the center continues to operate a program unique to Hwacheon County that supports multicultural families in visiting their home countries.

Furthermore, the center operates a shared childcare space.

The shared childcare space offers opportunities for parents raising children of similar ages to form groups and participate together in learning and experiential activities.

This space provides communal childcare facilities, as well as parental education, and offers programs for children such as art, sensory play, sports activities, and growth yoga.

Choi Moonsun, Mayor of Hwacheon County, said, "We are doing our utmost to support not only multicultural families but also all families with children so that they can build happy homes."
