The Dahamtogether Care Center is a facility that provides care services for elementary school students who need after-school care by utilizing idle spaces in the area to alleviate the childcare burden of parents of elementary school students.
The first Gyeongsan branch, operated by the Human Welfare Association, a social welfare corporation entrusted by the city, has an exclusive area of 134㎡ (40 pyeong) and a capacity of 20 children (separate temporary care available).
The center director, coordinator, and two care teachers operate special aptitude programs along with academic guidance through regular or temporary care. Any elementary school student in need of care can use the center.
Choi Young-jo, mayor of Gyeongsan City, said, "Regardless of income level, elementary school children in need of care from all social classes can receive seamless after-school care services," adding, "This will be especially helpful for dual-income couples in the area."
