Abstract

Considering the transfer of inclusive daycare centers for disabled children to local offices of education in accordance with the government's policy to integrate children with disabilities, we sought to confirm the current operation status of inclusive daycare centers for disabled children and operational policy requirements. To this end, the director was examined on the operation status of the disability integrated daycare center and the policy demands for the operation of the inclusive daycare center to meet the needs of infants with disabilities and improve the quality of life. To this end, 280 heads of inclusive daycare centers for children with disabilities in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, which operate inclusive daycare centers for children with disabilities, were targeted. The research tool for conducting this study was based on previous studies related to the operation of inclusive daycare center, the status of operation of inclusive daycare center, and the policy needs of inclusive daycare center. The data were collected during July 2023, and the collected data was verified by background variables using the SPSS 21.0 program. The results of the study were analyzed, including physical environments that are helpful in operating daycare centers, information provided in connection with homes, education that is helpful in operating daycare centers, operational difficulties, policy demands for cost support, and priority support policy demands. This study is meaningful in that it provided basic data for appropriate inclusive education by analyzing the operation status and policy needs of the disabled children's inclusive daycare center for the director of inclusive daycare center. On the other hand, it was also suggested that various studies that could solve the immediate problems in more detail should be requested.
