Child Care Facilities Accreditation System serves as a device for quality improvement in child care facilities, which help to bring up children in healthy and desirable manners. This paper aims to study significant contributions of the above mentioned accreditation system to higher quality child care services, and to verify the understandings, job satisfaction and self-efficacy in teaching of the employees of accredited home-based child care facilities for further specialization of the system.
The subjects of this research have been selected to approach practical sampling of home-based child care facilities. Finally, 270 questionnaires are collected and used as data. The collected data are analyzed through SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Science) WINDOWS 12. 0.
Firstly, 'Frequency Analysis' is employed.
Secondly, all measurement tools are classified into fields, and the 'Cronbach's alpha value' is calculated to secure validity of the measurement tools employed.
Thirdly, 'Independent t-test' and 'One-Way ANOVA' are employed. If significant differences existed, Scheffe's new Multiple Range Test is also employed after One-Way ANOVA.
Fourthly, 'Pearson's Correlation Analysis' is employed. The probing questions and the conclusion of this study are as follows:
Firstly, regarding recognition of the teachers of accredited facilities after being accredited, the participants' confidence and systemicity of facility operation is enhanced by joining accreditation process, with the pride of passing it. The level of respect for teachers is also heightened. Conclusively, the overall recognition of the employees in the accredited facilities is shown to be higher than that of the employees in non-accredited facilities.

Fourthly, regarding the relations between job satisfaction and teaching efficacy of the teachers after the accreditation process, it is demonstrated that the employees' job satisfaction has significantly affecting correlations with personal teaching efficacy.
In conclusion, recognition of the teachers of accredited facilities, after being accredited, is shown higher than that of the teachers of non-accredited facilities. The process also drives the teachers' satisfaction to a higher level. Moreover it is shown that teaching efficacy of the teachers is related to the qualities of Child Care Facilities statically. More studies are to be done to attract participations from non-accredited facilities.
