Hana Financial Group opened a large daycare center in Cheongna, Incheon, for children whose parents work at small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as for its own employees. It is part of the group's project to build 100 daycare centers to help people in local communities and tackle the low birth rate.

The group held an opening ceremony for the daycare center on Wednesday. Hana Financial Group funded the purchase of the land, the construction and the operation. With a 3,960 square meter space, the center will take care of around 300 children.

Hana has been building daycare centers around the country since 2018 with the aim of setting up 100 centers by 2023, benefiting around 10,000 children. It includes daycare centers in rural and fishing villages which have lacked such facilities, daycare centers for children with disabilities, multifunctional daycare centers and facilities for mutual prosperity.

Marking the 58th daycare center of the project, the center in Cheongna ― the location of Hana's future headquarters ― is aiming for mutual prosperity with SMEs, as it is open to children of those businesses' workers as well.

The building has a nature-friendly theme, linking classrooms with the garden and playground. It also has a roof area covered with a lawn for children to play on. It also features cutting-edge technologies including an interactive playground and a facility where children can create media content.

"We hope the center will help children learn the value of cooperation and mutual prosperity, growing to be equipped with creativity and harmonious character. Hana Financial Group will lead to tackle the country's serious low birth rate problem and work for co-prosperity with SMEs and balanced growth between regions," Hana Financial Group Chairman Ham Young-joo said.
