New independent classes established in Jungang-dong, Munmak-eup, and Heungeop-myeon... For infants under 6 to 36 months of age

(Wonju = Yonhap News) Reporter Lim Bo-yeon = Wonju City, Gangwon-do, added three independent classes to three part-time child care providers to ease the temporary burden of care for home-based child care households.

Additional designated places are Jungpyeong Daycare Center in Jungang-dong, Hana Daycare Center in Munmak-eup, and Forest Sori Daycare Center in Heungeop-myeon.

These daycare centers have been providing part-time childcare services since the 1st.

Guardians who wish to use the service can make a reservation in advance through the Isarang Portal.

Lee Jang-won, head of the city's childcare department, said on the 2nd, "We will continue to expand the part-time childcare base so that you can leave your children with peace of mind when you need them."
