For the analysis of the data, the statistical methods of frequency, mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis were employed. When the category of safety performance was analyzed by general features, marital status, educational career, and degree of assistance of safety education, there were significant differences. Safety performance correlated positively with safety knowledge and safety control. Factors affecting early childhood teachers’ safety performance were identified in the order of safety knowledge and safety control and the explanatory power was 60.0%. The findings of the study indicate that in order to increase early childhood teachers’ safety performance, their safety knowledge and safety control have to be enhanced.
