Regarding the case of alleged mistreatment of children at the Kaohsiung Linyuan Post Office Childcare Service Center in October 2025, parents filed complaints with local councilors and the media, alleging that staff at the center treated children inappropriately, including verbal intimidation and physical punishment. The center was operated by the "Kaohsiung City Love and Care Education Development Association", and Chunghwa Post was merely the venue provider. This organization also operates several non-profit kindergartens and childcare centers in Kaohsiung. After verification by relevant authorities, this has drawn significant public attention. The Education Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government immediately launched an investigation, and the K-12 Education Administration (MOE) held an emergency meeting. In accordance with Article 30, Paragraph 3 of the "Regulations Governing the Implementation of Workplace-based Early Childhood Education and Care Services", the agency agreement was terminated, and a public announcement was made to dissolve our cooperative relationship with the organization.
