The Together Care Project is a project to eliminate blind spots in care and reduce the burden of childcare on dual-income families by providing care services such as full-time and temporary care and after-school programs to children aged 6 to 12 (elementary school students) who need care.
The Together Care Center performs tasks such as linking and providing educational, cultural, artistic, and physical programs, including experiential activities, and operates from 13:00 to 20:00 during the semester and from 9:00 to 18:00 during vacation.
Mayor Kim Dong-il said, “We will make active efforts to establish a region-centered care system and eliminate blind spots in elementary care in response to the increase in dual-income families,” and added, “I hope that children will be provided with a variety of care services in a safe and comfortable care space.”
