Since last March, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education has also been providing gap-filling childcare services tailored to the unique characteristics of each region and the strengths of individual institutions.

The types of childcare services include customized care (morning, evening, and vacation care), holiday care (care on Sundays and public holidays), intensive vacation care, and local government-linked care (afternoon and evening care).

An official from the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education stated, "Through this project, we have addressed gaps in childcare and established a safe childcare system that balances education and care by reflecting the diverse needs of families. We will continue to develop and expand customized childcare models based on operational results and feedback from the field, and work to spread a seamless and comprehensive childcare network."
