Abstract
The purpose of this research is to clarify how “Nature-Based Childcare Accreditation and Certification System” affects the awareness and behavior of childcare workers. A questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 4,324 childcare workers working at certified childcare centers in Tottori, Nagano, Hiroshima, and Shiga prefectures, and responses were received from 1,374. Through this survey, the following became clear: (1) The frequency of nature experience activities increases after certification. (2) After certification, childcare workers' resistance to outdoor activities has decreased and their desire to gain knowledge about nature has increased. (3) After certification, the kindergarten environment has changed to make it easier for childcare workers to engage in outdoor nature experience activities. (4) After certification, the knowledge of childcare workers regarding safety management has improved, but only about 50% of childcare workers have knowledge of dangerous flora, fauna, and terrain.
