Abstract
This study analyzed what work attitudes of early childhood education and care facilities directors are appreciated by nusery teachers using a text-mining software KH Corder. As a result of the analysis, nine types of work attitudes were identified, including “providing child-centered childcare,” “approchable good advisor,” “good listener,” “actively engaging to understand children despite busy schedules,” “ good relationship with parents, teachers and staff,” and “creating better workplace with staff,” all of which were found to be appreciated by nusery teachers. As the support and involvement of directors for nusery teachers and other staffcontinue to be increasingly important, these nine types of attitudes provide a simple yet helpful clue to make better relationship between nursery directors and teachers, emphasizing the importance of always returning to the basics of working with people.
