The National and Public Mijo Hana Daycare Center was promoted after the only daycare center in Mijo-myeon, Mijo Ai Daycare Center, closed in February 2020.
After being finally selected in Hana Financial Group’s public-private partnership national and public daycare center contest project, in November 2020, ‘Namhae-gun - Hana Financial Public Welfare Foundation - Hansol Childcare Foundation’ signed a construction agreement and proceeded in earnest.

In particular, it was built with eco-friendly building materials, has a high ceiling and sufficient sunlight, and is expected to be a childcare space that enhances children’s creativity.
Jang Chung-nam, the county governor, said, “This daycare center was created with one heart and one mind by local residents who cherish children and Hana Financial, which is carrying out social contribution activities through support for childcare facilities. We will do our best to make Namhae a happy place for children where our future shining stars can run freely and unleash their infinite imagination in a comfortable space.”
