On the 13th, Gwangmyeong City announced that it held an opening ceremony for the 'City Central I-Park Daycare Center' established within the Gwangmyeong Central I-Park complex. With this opening, the total number of public daycare centers operated by the city has increased to 40.

Last September, the city signed an agreement with the Gwangmyeong District 4R Housing Redevelopment Maintenance Association for the establishment and operation of a public daycare center. After selecting an entrusted operator and completing interior remodeling, the daycare center began operations on March 3 of this year.

The City Central I-Park Daycare Center has a total floor area of 561.88 square meters and can accommodate up to 89 infants and toddlers. By being located within the apartment complex, accessibility has been improved, and the center is expected to help reduce the childcare burden on dual-income families and address local childcare gaps.

Park Seungwon, Mayor of Gwangmyeong City, stated, "Public childcare is an essential foundation that supports both the healthy growth of children and the daily lives of parents," adding, "We will continue to expand reliable public daycare centers so that parents can entrust their children with confidence and further develop a nurturing environment suitable for raising children."

Meanwhile, Gwangmyeong City plans to use this opening as an opportunity to continuously expand public daycare centers and provide stable, high-quality public childcare services.
