The county operates two local child centers to prevent care gaps for vulnerable children in need of after-school supervision and to provide them with diverse experiences. Among them, the 'Seoraksan Learning Center' has expanded its facilities through relocation. The capacity is set to increase from 30 to 40 children, and it is currently operating with an increased number of 35 children. The new space is organized to separate learning, emotional, and play areas, allowing children to engage in activities more stably. The 'Inje Local Child Center' is also maintaining its regional care function through ongoing maintenance and repairs.

The 'Together Care Center', which offers rest, learning, and hobby programs for elementary school students, is currently operating a total of eight centers across six towns and townships. The Buk-myeon branch completed an indoor layout renovation in October 2025, adding a dedicated learning space, and plans to expand its activity area and increase its capacity from 20 to 28 children. The Seohwa branch has reinforced safety for outdoor activities by refurbishing its aging outdoor deck, while the Girin branch is scheduled to improve its indoor environment by replacing wallpaper and flooring in December.

Inje County plans to continue expanding its care infrastructure step by step in areas where it is needed, based on a comprehensive review of the local child population, commuting conditions, and care demand in each region. In addition, the county will continue to enhance the safety and convenience of existing facilities to create an environment where children can stay more comfortably.

Choi Sangki, Mayor of Inje County, stated, "The spaces where children spend their time must above all be safe and comfortable. The administration will pay close attention not only to improving facilities but also to developing programs, so that Inje becomes a great place to raise children and a place where children can be happy."
