Purpose: This study aimed to identify the problems and improvement areas by reviewing the laws related to kindergarden healthcare workers. Methods: The laws were searched at the Korean law information center (https://www.law.go.kr/). We reviewed the 「Early Childhood Education Act」, 「School Health Act」, 「Medical Service Act」, 「Elementary and Secondary Education Act」and their enforcement decrees and rules. Results: The legal role of health teachers as school healthcare professionals was comprehensively specified by the 「School Health Act. However, the qualifications for and roles of health teachers were not fully described in 「Early Childhood Education Act], indicating a unclear legal basis for the qualifications for and roles of kindergarten health teachers. To support healthcare workers in kindergartens, it is necessary to amend the 「Early Childhood Education Act」 that provides the guidelines for qualifications for kindergarten health teachers in elementary, secondary, and special schools who have completed necessary continuing education. A health hub kindergarten could be a step-by-step option for all kindergartens to have healthcare workers. Conclusion: This review demonstrated the importance of amending the laws on kindergarten health teachers and health hub kindergartens for child health and safety. These findings could be used to support policies related to kindergarten healthcare workers.

국가 수준의 교육과정인 누리과정에서는 유아를 대상으로 한 영어교육을 고려하지 않고 있다. 그러나 현실에서는 90%이상의 유아들이 영어를 배우고 있다. 이 연구는 한국의 정규 유치원에서 영어를 가르치는 원어민 영어교사의 교수활동의 문화적 측면을 분석하였다. 이 연구를 위한 자료는 정규 유치원의 원어민 영어교사, 한국인 영어교사와 유치원 원장의 인터뷰를 통해 수집되었다. 모든 인터뷰 자료들은 근거 이론에 기반하여 전사하고 분류되었다. 연구 결과, 한국의 정규유치원에서는 원어민 영어교사들에게 한국의 유아들을 위한 문화적인 준비를 요구하지 않았다. 따라서, 대부분의 원어민 영어교사들은 자신의 교육활동에서 유아들의 문화를 고려하지 않고 있었다. 또한, 이 연구에 참여한 원어민 영어교사들이 근무하고 있는 한국 유치원들 역시 원어민 영어교사들의 교수활동을 정규 교육과정에 잘 통합하고 있지 못했다. 이러한 연구 결과들은 국 유치원의 영어교육에 중요한 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

The study was aimed to investigate the operational meal costs by kindergarten size in Seoul and to analyze recognition for optimal meal prices. A survey (31.6% recovery rate) was conducted on all kindergartens (779 kindergartens) in Seoul on April 2021 using descriptive analysis, t-test, and dispersion method. A price sensitivity measurement (psm) method was used to determine optimal meal prices. Result showed an average food cost for kindergartens of 2,647 won, an average labor cost of 605 won, an average operating cost of 146 won, and the total meal cost of 3,506 won. Total meal cost decreased with increasing kindergarten size (p<0.001). On the other hand, kindergartens with more students decreased the ratio of food cost to total meal cost, and operating cost and labor costs (p<0.001) increased. The optimal price of kindergarten operators' meal cost (OPP) was KRW 3,673. Furthermore, the analysis showed the sensitivity of operators' meal costs to kindergarten size was insignificant.

In an attempt to determine the prevalence of pinworm infection, the egg positive rate of Enterobius vermicularis was examined using the adhesive cello-tape anal swab method in 1,512 preschool children sampled from a total of 20 kindergartens in Cheongju city, in November to December of 2004 (951 children from 13 kindergartens) and September to October of 2005 (561 from 7 kindergartens). The overall egg positive rate was found to be 7.9% (119/1,512); 9.3% (73/784) for boys and 6.3% (46/728) for girls, respectively. The 5-year age group evidenced the highest egg positive rate (10.9%, 47/430) among the examined age groups. As compared to those reported from previous works (ranged from 9.2 to 26.1 %), the prevalence of E. vermicularis in the Cheongju city area is relatively low.
