A public custody camp is returning to Liangjiang New Area, offering a warm, welcoming solution for parents facing childcare challenges during the winter holiday.

The program, covering 31 towns and subdistricts, features 86 care centers and offers 145 sessions. The courses encompass a diverse range of themes, including homework assistance, creative crafts, safety and self-protection, and outdoor sports, catering to children's varied interests and needs.

The service is tailored for children aged 6 to 12, with a special focus on groups such as orphans, left-behind children, and the children of workers in emerging fields, including delivery personnel, couriers, ride-hailing drivers, and truck drivers.

The program will operate from Feb 2 to 28, excluding weekends and public holidays.
