The purpose of this study was to analyze women's selection pattern on kindergarten/child care centers and private tutoring for young children. For this purpose, 1,810 women whose young children's age was between 2 and 6 were selected from KLoWF data. After categorizing the education centers as daycare center, kindergarten, and private institute, it was investigated the women's characteristics related to their decision making for selection of the centers. The results of survey data analyses showed that younger children's mothers preferred to send their children to daycare centers, older children's mothers did to kindergarten. In terms of their dual selection on education centers, the frequency of 6-old-year children attending kindergarten and private institutes was very high. As the children's age was increasing, the frequency of women's multiple selection on daycare center, kindergarten and private institute was also increasing. In addition, regardless of the women's job pattern and existence, they preferred to send children to daycare centers. With these findings, limitations and suggestions for the future studies were also discussed.
