◆ Announcer Park Gui-bin (hereinafter referred to as Park Gui-bin): A daily white book, today we are with Gyeonggi-do Province. Parents who raise their children may be in trouble because there is no place to leave their children for a while. It is said that the child care project called "Always Care" operated by Gyeonggi-do Province will also be operated as an online platform in the future, making it more convenient to apply. For more information, let's call Lee Eun-joo, the director of child care in Gyeonggi-do, and talk. How are you, sir?

◇ Lee Eun-joo, Director of Child Care Division, Gyeonggi-do Provincial Government (hereinafter referred to as Lee Eun-joo): Hello, I'm Lee Eun-joo, Director of Child Care Division, Gyeonggi-do Province.

◆ Park Gui-bin: First of all, what kind of business is 'care for children at all times'?

◇ Lee Eun-joo: It is a representative child care project in Gyeonggi-do where families in need of emergency care for children under the age of 12 can trust and leave their children at any time and place they want 365 days a year. If residents in need of emergency care ask for facility care, elementary school age will be provided at the child care center near their residence, and preschool children will always be provided at the daycare center. And if you want home care, a caregiver visits the home and takes care of the child.

◆ Park Gui-bin: What should I do to always use care?

◇ Eunjoo Lee: Always care is available through the hotline call center phone or the 'Child Always Care Platform'. For the call center, you can call the representative number 010-9979-7722. Those who want to use the platform can apply for the service by going to the online website.

◆ Park Gui-bin: Could you tell me the details of the 'Child Always Care Platform' service and how to use it in detail?

◇ Eunjoo Lee: The Always-Care platform for children is an online website where you can apply for customized care services. If provincial residents only sign up for membership and pre-child registration, they can easily use the service at the time and place they want in case of an emergency. In addition, through a map of the current status of child care facilities, residents can check and select an institution that provides care services at any time close to the place they want, such as near their home or near their company. The child care institution expects that the existing paper work will be computerized, increasing the efficiency of work processing, which will also help improve service quality. You can search "Gyeonggi-do Children's Always Care Platform" on the Internet site.

◆ Park Gui-bin: Do you have any plans to expand the platform in the future?

◇ Eunjoo Lee: The platform was opened and operated on December 31, 2024. We will improve the security of the platform and operate it as an integrated linked site including not only care services but also all information from childbirth to care from April.

◆ Park Gwi-bin: Please say the last word.

◇ Lee Eun-joo: Gyeonggi-do Province will continue to work hard to provide a better nurturing environment for the people of the province. Thank you.

◆ Park Gui-bin: This has been Lee Eun-joo, director of child care at Gyeonggi-do Provincial Government.
