The event was conducted as a participatory program where parents and children were the main characters, featuring activities such as a paper airplane event, fitting the purpose of the daycare center.

Daon Daycare Center has a total floor area of 247.82㎡ and is equipped with four childcare rooms, a playroom, and an outdoor playground, capable of caring for a total of 40 children. Recruitment of children began in July, and operations started in September.

With the opening of Daon Daycare Center, the total number of public daycare centers in Jungnang-gu has reached 67, and a total of five daycare centers are now operated within Yangwon District.

The district is exploring various measures to expand public daycare centers, including converting existing private and home daycare centers into public ones, providing free leases, and new construction.

Jungnang-gu Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “I am very pleased that the opening of Daon Daycare Center will reduce the childcare burden for residents of Yangwon District,” adding, “We will do our best to create a stable childcare environment so that residents feel that raising children in Jungnang is a good choice and so that children can receive healthy education.”
