Rental applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the Republic of Korea Dongjak Corporation website for residents who wish to apply.
The application period is from the 1st to the 20th of the month prior to the desired rental month, and for the first month of implementation, April, applications are accepted from March 18 to 29.
The rental period is 5 days, and to make the service more convenient for parents, items are delivered every Thursday to the applicant's address within the district and collected on the return day, Tuesday.
For more details, inquiries can be made to the Dongjak-gu Office Early Childhood Care Division or the Republic of Korea Dongjak Corporation.
