Osan City Launches New Recruitment for Public-Type Daycare Centers Until the 7th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City will conduct new recruitment for public-type daycare centers through the 7th.

Public-type daycare centers are childcare facilities selected from high-quality private and home-based daycare centers, with operating costs supported by the state and local governments, providing quality childcare and functioning as public childcare infrastructure.

To apply, daycare centers must maintain Grade A or 90 points or higher in evaluation certification (evaluation system) and maintain 70% or higher enrollment capacity.

Excluded are workplace daycare centers receiving operating funds from employment insurance funds, workplace daycare centers installed or supported by the state or local governments, exclusive infant daycare centers, national/public, social welfare corporations, corporate/organizational entities receiving personnel expenses support according to childcare business guidelines, infant-exclusive daycare centers, and specialized daycare centers for children with disabilities.

Daycare centers selected as public-type will maintain public-type daycare center status for three years and can receive operating cost support.

The city will support educational supplies and environmental improvement expenses for newly designated public-type daycare centers through its own projects and will also provide differential personnel expenses to support the four major insurances and personnel costs for childcare staff monthly during the public-type daycare center certification period.

The city will accept applications through the 7th, review detailed selection requirements, and announce results on September 18th.

Meanwhile, as of the end of last month, the city has designated and operated 27 public-type daycare centers, with 611 children currently enrolled.
