This contest was held under the theme of "Healthy Growth, Safe Meals," and Jangji Daycare Center was selected as an outstanding institution in the category of "Excellent Cases of Nutrition and Dietary Education for Healthy Growth."

The center was highly praised for going beyond the traditional meal provision approach by implementing activities such as growing vegetables in a garden, cooking activities with direct participation from children, and sensory-based, play-oriented dietary education. These efforts contributed to improving children's eating habits and establishing a foundation for healthy growth.

Director Kim Dongjin stated, "We will continue to lead a safe and healthy meal culture centered on children and further strengthen our efforts to improve the meal and educational environment so that children can grow up happy and healthy."

Mayor Bang Sehwan said, "We will continue to work closely with daycare centers to support meal hygiene management and dietary education, so that children can develop healthy eating habits in their daily lives."
