The Dahamkke Care Center will be the first elementary after-school care facility established in Songdo-dong, expected to be a great help to dual-income residents struggling with care gaps.

The district plans to operate the Dahamkke Care Center with a capacity of 35 people in the first half of next year after remodeling the residents' community facilities. Additionally, the district plans to further expand Dahamkke Care Centers in two apartment complexes with more than 500 households each, scheduled for completion next year in Songdo-dong.

Lee Jae-ho, mayor of Yeonsu-gu, said, "We will strive to eliminate care blind spots by expanding care institutions so that children can receive care in a safe and high-quality environment."
