This study is intended to look into parents' satisfaction of contracting-out system in employer-supported childcare centers. To achieve this, a survey was carried out to 400 parents who use national, public and private employer-supported childcare centers. The results were as follows. First, employer-supported childcare factors were the qualities of childcare environment, childcare program and early childhood teacher in both contracted-out and in-house services. The satisfaction with facility, program, operation and childcare training was improved in good employer-supported childcare factors And the satisfaction with the relationship between these factors could improve the expectation for the use of employer-supported childcare centers. Second, the difference in the operation of employer-supported childcare centers showed that the most preferred size was 50 to 74 children. The contracted-out services was more preferred than in-house services. And the location of on-the-job facility was more preferred than off-the-job facility. As stated above, the preference of employer-supported childcare centers was more raised than that of general kindergartens or childcare centers by an increase in the trend of working child parents' dual income. In other words, small and medium sized childcare centers of some 50 children were more preferred than large scaled childcare centers.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of service satisfaction regarding the accessibility of child care services varies between dual-earner and single-earner families. In particular, we conducted the analysis by dividing the service accessibility into sub-areas. The study sample consisted of 267 parents living in Seoul and Gyeonggi region. As a result of the analysis, accommodation in use time and affordability influenced satisfaction in the single-earner families, and information acquisition and acceptability in the dual-earner families. For single-earner families, the more convenient the use time of the childcare institution and the less the service cost burden, the higher the satisfaction. The dual-earner families had higher satisfaction levels if it was easier to obtain information about the childcare centers and weaker the religious characteristics of the childcare centers. Based on the research results, it is necessary to differentiate the burden of cost and provide more flexible operation of childcare service operating hours. In addition, it is necessary to devise a policy method to increase the transparency of information to childcare institutions.

본 연구의 목적은 국공립 보육시설과 사립 보육시설을 구조적, 과정적, 소비자 관점의 질 등 세 가지 질의 관점에서 비교하고, 이들 세 가지 유형의 보육의 질 간의 관계를 알아보는 것이었다. 이를 위하여 서울시에 위치한 국공립 보육시설 8개소와 사립 보육시설 8개소를 관찰하고, 이 보육시설들을 이용하는 어머니 293명을 대상으로 질문지 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 국공립 보육시설과 사립보육시설은 구조적 질과 소비자 관점의 질 측면에서는 유의한 차이가 있지만 과정적 질 측면에서는 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 공립과 사립 보육시설의 과정적 질이 유사함에도 불구하고 소비자로서의 부모들은 공립 보육시설에 더 만족하는 것으로 발견되었다. 또한 보육시설의 구조적인 질은 과정적 질, 소비자 관점의 질과 상관이 있으나 과정적인 질은 소비자 관점의 질과 유의한 상관이 없었다.
