Gunwon-gu Conducts Childcare Facility Staff Training

Gunwon-gu in Suwon City held training on the afternoon of the 19th for 377 childcare facility staff members in the district to promote transparent and publicly-oriented childcare facility operations.

As the scope of childcare services has expanded with the implementation of free childcare starting in 2012 and the introduction of the Nuri Curriculum for five-year-olds, greater transparency in childcare facility operations has become increasingly necessary. Gunwon-gu provided training to childcare facilities covering amendments to the Infant and Child Care Act, revised guidelines, and essential operational training for childcare facilities, as well as concurrent education on child health and safety management and child sexual abuse prevention.

A department official stated that the district will continue to make efforts to help childcare facilities develop into trustworthy institutions that parents can confidently entrust their children to, through ongoing training and supervision inspections, including integrated childcare system training for childcare facility directors.
