Abstract
How are public/private kindergartens and daycare centers perceived by parents who have sent or wish to send their children to those facilities? What are their perceptions of the teachers of those facilities? Kindergartens and day cares are essential facilities to support child care. However, it is not clear how much teachers and parents recognize them as also being facilities that assure growth and development of babies and young children. To reveal these attitudes, a survey on kindergarten and day care was conducted among teachers and parents in Sayama City and Hino City.The result reveals that the image of kindergarten is different from the image of day care in both teachers and parents.
