Because news about infants or young children being abused to injury or even death were often reported, this study examines the childcare provider scheme in Taiwan and its various aspects. The chief management mechanism of childcare providers in Taiwan is the “community childcare provider scheme” established in every county and every city. Its service objects are childcare providers, parents, infants and young children, and even the community residents. The existing community childcare provider scheme consists of sixty-two units island-wide in individual counties and cities, each however with different supervisor, leading to un-unified system web interface, and unsatisfactory recognition. Therefore, this study investigates the extent of recognition and needs of parents of preschool children towards community childcare provider scheme, and the results will be provided to relevant managing units for reference. The study targeted at parents of preschool children in Kaohsiung city. With three hundred questionnaires distributed and collected, they were further analyzed by means of descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and ANOVA analysis. It concludes that the personal background and family background of parents of preschool children, and their understanding of the community childcare provider scheme have a significant effect on the overall extent of recognition and cognition of community childcare provider scheme.
