Abstract

This research is intended to suggest ways to estimate the appropriate cost for providing child care services to prepare support measures by understanding how consumers use early childhood services and how much they pay for services based on the scheduling system of the service providers. The following are the specific research areas and methods. First, on-site research was conducted to gain information about operating hours, scheduling systems under which parents can choose the service hours, and the child care service fees according to the scheduling system. Second, scenarios were created according to service scheduling types, based on which the appropriate amount of child care fees were estimated. These estimations were made on the basis of the government funded unit cost, in consideration of general working environments such as the legal regulations of the early childhood workforce, and the application of assistant teacher systems, as well as the current legal standards. Third, according to the results of reviewing these scenarios by service scheduling types, applicable scheduling types to be used in child care centers were suggested and relevant policy issues and practices were addressed.
