The study is to research on parents' and child-care teachers' demands of community social service of child care center, which is a neglected part for the comprehensive care. Community social service of child care center is comprised of four categories : community service, community public relation, community participation, and community resources. The result shows that both parents and teachers agree that child care center need to provide more community social services. However, parents in general demand more of community social services than teachers. The followings are suggested. First, a variety of community social service programs(items) for child care centers should be developed and popularized. Second, better legal and institutional framework for community social service should be devised. Third, education on the community social service needs to be offered regularly to teachers. Fourth, parents need to be encouraged to participate actively in child care center programs. To promote community social service program is to build reciprocal relationship among children, their families and the neighborhood, and it will strength child care center's role in community.
