This study has intended to look into any correlation between child-care teachers` awareness of professionalism & social support of perception and their burnout and to analyze the relative influence between teachers` awareness of professionalism and social support of perception which involved in their burnout (through multiple regression and Pearson`s correlation method.) An investigation was made against total 244 teachers` burnout and awareness of professionalism & social support of perception and the result was applied to this study. The results are as follows. First, there was a meaningful correlation negatively between the levels of child-care teachers` awareness of professionalism and their burnout. Secondly, the levels of teachers` social support of perception and their burnout showed a meaningful correlation negatively. Lastly, the teachers` awareness of professionalism and social support of perception together also influenced their burnout. Especially, the less the child-care teachers perceive their child-care job as a profession which requires highly expertised knowledges & capabilities and they perceive their job as highly supported one internally in the work places and externally in the society, the more they experience burnout.
