The objective was to suggest effective crisis intervention and support mechanisms for child caregivers in the case of future disasters. A survey was conducted in nursery schools in Kumamoto Prefecture（ N=35） in June 2016, two months after the disaster in nursery schools. Participants were requested to describe the associated stresses they had experienced. As a result of the survey, 54 episodes were extracted. These were classified using the KJ-Method into 2 major categories: “stress experienced as a childcare-giver” and “stress experienced as a victim”, 8 midcategories, and 12 minor categories. The results indicate that , it is necessary to take individual, organizational and administrative measures to support child caregivers during future disasters.
