초록

본 연구는 부천시 소재 보육시설 중 국공립과 법인 시설을 제외한 민간과 가정, 직장시설
시설장의 평가인증제도에 대한 일반적인 인식을 알아보고자하였으며, 평가인증 여부에 따라
인식에 차이가 있는지, 평가인증 지표가 다른 민간 보육시설과 가정보육시설 시설장의 인식
에 차이가 있는지를 알아봄으로 부천시 보육현장의 평가인증제도에 대한 현실을 반영하여 적
극적으로 평가인증에 참여할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.
부천시 민간보육시설의 경우 2층 상가건물에 위치한 수가 36.1%로 자가 단독건물과 공동
주택에 비해 가장 많으며, 정원 21인 이상 39인 이하의 소규모 어린이집이 42.6%를 차지하
고 있다. 이는 상가 임대 시설의 경우 장기적인 운영에 대한 불안감이 평가인증 참여에 부정
적인 인식을 갖게 하고 있으며, 소규모 열악한 환경의 시설들은 평가인증을 위한 재정적 부
담을 안고 있었다.

This study set out to examine the general perceptions of the evaluation and
certification system among private, home, and work establishments with a day care
center excluding national, public, and corporation facilities in Bucheon. By investigating
if there were differences in the perceptions according to evaluation and certification
and between private and home day care centers with different evaluation and
certification indexes, the study suggested the ways for them to take active part in
evaluation and certification by reflecting the current state of the evaluation and
certification system among the day care centers in Bucheon.
The research findings were as follows:
First, as for the characteristics of the subjects, 36.1% of the private day care
centers in Bucheon were located in a two-story commercial building, which was
followed by a single building and apartment housing. Small-sized day care centers
whose quorum was 21~39 children accounted for 42.6%. When they rented an office
from a commercial building, the day care centers naturally had an anxious prospect for
long-term operation and thus a negative perception of participation in evaluation and
certification. And small-sized day care centers with inferior environments suffered a
financial burden required for evaluation and certification.
Secondly, the general perceptions of the evaluation and certification system were
reviewed. As a result, most of the establishments knew about the evaluation and
certification system, and more than half of them felt a need for the system. But about
40.9% said there was no need for such a system. The reasons why they didn't apply
for evaluation and certification were overload of affairs including documentation, hindrance of their unique day care duties, and financial burden.
With regard to their perceptions of the evaluation and certification areas, they
believed that the day care environment should be most valued in evaluation and
certification and cited operation and management as the most difficult area in
evaluation and certification. They also said the members of the self-review committee
were proper in the evaluation and certification process(application for participation,
self-review, field observation, and deliberation of certification). They had positive
perceptions of taking advantage of the child care information center as a support
institution. The biggest difficulties with participation in evaluation and certification
derived from renovation and repair of the day care center, financial burden, teachers
who were leaving, and overload of work. And their passiveness towards evaluation and
certification could be explained by the huge burden associated with the improvement
of the day care environment and documentation of operation and management.
Third, the general perceptions of evaluation and certification were examined between
those day care centers which were evaluated and certified and those which were not
certified. As a result, there were differences between the two groups as to the degree
of their knowledge of the evaluation and certification system and a need for the
system. Those day care centers which were certified were more aware of the system
and felt a greater need for the system than those which were not certified. A big
proportion of the former group replied that the certification process was effective in
increasing the teachers' professionalism and providing high quality, systematic childcare
to the young children although the financial burden was huge.
And fourth, the general perceptions of the evaluation and certification system were
examined between the private and home day care centers. Although there were no
statistically significant differences in a need for such a system between them, there
were some differences as to whether they engaged in evaluation and certification.
While the day care centers that were already certified or in the process of
certification accounted for 15% and 32.5%, respectively, among the home day care
centers, the percentage was 9% and 5.1%, respectively, among the private day care
centers. The percentage difference can be explained by the bigger burden of
renovation and repair of the facility, which was cited as the biggest hardship with
evaluation and certification, on the private day care centers.
