Emphasis on the Importance of Childcare Services

In addition, education programs are being developed to strengthen the professionalism of childcare providers, and qualification standards are being strengthened. The Childcare Service is an important social asset that brings happiness to both children and parents, going beyond simple childcare support.
Experts emphasize that "Childcare services are an important social investment that goes beyond simply entrusting children to others, but supports their growth and development."
