Chilgok-gun in North Gyeongsang Province has renovated a shared childcare space for local children and families as part of efforts to improve its care environment.

The county held a reopening ceremony Tuesday for the remodeled Chilgok-gun Shared Childcare Center — designated as Shinhan Kkumdodam-teo Branch No. 235 — at the Chilgok-gun Family Center.

Chilgok-gun County Chief Kim Jae-wook, Chilgok County Assembly Vice Speaker Jang Jae-hwan, representatives from Shinhan Financial Group and families who use the center attended the event.

The renovation aimed to give children a safe and comfortable care environment, reduce the parenting burden and spread a culture of shared childcare in the community.

The newly refurbished center was selected for the "Shinhan Kkumdodam-teo" grant program run jointly by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and Shinhan Financial Group, securing funding for the remodeling work, educational equipment and program operating costs.

"I am grateful to Shinhan Financial Group for its support in creating a meaningful space for local children and families," Kim said. "We will operate it as a safe play space for children and a reliable care space that eases the parenting burden for parents."
