This study aims to provide a working knowledge in early childhood care and education based on a macroscopic approach of newspaper interviews and retrospectives of various incidents. The resulting data indicates the following three factors as formulae for a working knowledge leading to a better understanding of child care and education. 1) Adherence to nature, which is "pathos experience" different from "logos experience," as a means of establishing a driving force for living fully. 2) Experience of "timelessness," which is not limited by real time, in order to produce profuse images and sensory experiences that contribute to formation of children's self. 3) Importance of coming into contact with values, cultures, and human relationships in a "field" of children's daily life, which affects profoundly their growth. It is concluded that ensuring these three factors for children leads to a better childhood care and education.
