民間保育施設運營에 대한 國家의 支援에 關한 硏究

Abstract

Nuclear family system of modern capitalistic society is not suitable for bringing up offsprings and importance of babyhood has been emphasized gradually. Accordingly, a nurture project, which is responsible for appropriate nurture of children under the early development process, as a public resources provider is deemed to be an important problem in the modern society. On the premise that all children should receive the nature service in growing under the principle of basic goods sufficiency and principle of equal opportunity, they can accept discriminative treatment by their ability and contribution to economic activities when they grow up to be a man. Therefore, they should be protected and instructed under the institution and policy of baby and infant nurture project. However, supporting system of the national or local autonomous entity for private nurture facilities is focused on facility itself and most supporting fund is laid on the only governmental supporting facilities disproportionately in Korea. Hence, children and their parents using those facilities get the discriminative benefits by a responsible manager though the same kind and type of nurture services are provided. This violates publicity of the nurture project and cause the quality of nurture not to be discussed under equal conditions. Only a few facilities designated as supported facilities including national and public nurture facilities, baby-charged nurture facilities, physically and mentally handicapped children charged facilities, and round-the-clock nurture facilities can receive supports such as personnel expenses. This condition accelerates further relative poverty by financial difficulties and lowering of quality of unsupported facilities arising out of extremely insufficient supports for the reason that those facilities are not designated facilities but private nurture facilities though the nurture project is enforced. Therefore, the researcher considers, it is natural and reasonable that the supporting system by facilities should be broken away and be converted into the supporting system by the nurtured children by changing from facilities-focused to children-focused expenses supports, provided that nurture-charged public officials should be supplemented and facilities supports should be performed in advance by applying an evaluation certification system for nurture facilities. The researcher suggests that the government should encourage introduction of the evaluation certification system for nurture facilities actively as these prerequisites need huge amount of budget and improvement of recognition. Based on these suppots, the private nurture facilities will achieve raise of social welfare services as social welfare facilities, enhancement of the quality level of nurture services, and better treatment of nurture teachers and improvement of working environment, raise the quality level of the overall nurture, and ultimately satisfy demands of period.
