Report on Installation of a Community Child Center

A community child center is a child welfare facility under Article 52 of the Child Welfare Act, and an individual or corporation other than the state or a local government must report its installation to the city, county or district under Article 50. It must have an office, kitchen, dining room and group guidance rooms (2 or more rooms), with a combined exclusive area of 82.5㎡ or more and 3.3㎡ or more per child, and the facility head must meet requirements such as a level 2 or higher social worker qualification and social welfare work experience related to children. Delays usually arise from the area and the facility head's experience, so check the area and use in the building register before signing a lease, and check whether experience is recognized before hiring.

    You submit the statutory report form and required documents. Once the documents are in order the report is accepted; for some reports the authority checks the contents before accepting it.

  1. 01

    Calculate capacity and area: Have an office, kitchen, dining room and group guidance rooms (2 or more rooms) separately, and calculate with the building register area whether the combined exclusive area is 82.5㎡ or more and 3.3㎡ or more per child.

  2. 02

    Check building use and lease conditions: Before signing, confirm with the competent department that the building use is suitable for a child welfare facility, and if leasing, check that the remaining lease period is sufficient. Locating it in multi-unit housing requires prior consultation.

  3. 03

    Check qualifications of the facility head and staff: The facility head must have a level 2 or higher social worker qualification and 3 years of child-related social welfare experience (or 5 years of social welfare experience), among other requirements. Nurses, dietitians and others need 5 or more years of social welfare experience after obtaining their qualifications.

  4. 04

    Prepare and submit the installation report: Attach the facility floor plan, operation plan, budget and operating rules, and staff qualification documents to the report and submit it to the child welfare department of the city, county or district.

  5. 05

    On-site check and acceptance: The department checks the site, and if it requests supplementation, the report is accepted after supplementing within the set period.
