‘Ggumdal’ represents Daekyo’s brand of books written for its youngest readership. The name “Ggumdal”, or Snail with a Dream, represents the true integrity and value of goal-oriented education that demands unhurried and orderly planning and achievement. It can be likened to a clearly set goal, albeit at a snail’s pace. The program encompasses a wide variety of contents thoroughly aligned to the greater trends in today’s education to benefit toddlers who are learning to walk and then to run, and the elementary grade school kids who seek to expand their knowledge and grow their dreams. In fact, Ggumdal does so much more than simply write and publish books; our research and development efforts have the dreams of our children at heart, and a firm belief that we are helping them to mold their future world. Through our books, children are encouraged to see, hear, touch and feel what the world offers. To that end, we are committed to serve as the support pillars on which these children can stand, grow higher and dream bigger.
