Over the past decade, there has been considerable policy development in early childhood education and care in Korea. The focus is now shifting from the federal government to grassroots initiatives or efforts in local communities in order to provide information or programs for all eligible families with young children. There is a strong need for more integrative and comprehensive parenting support programs(titled Child Care Information Center, Young Plaza in Korea) for families with young children to meet their diverse needs of child rearing. This paper overviews the current status and trends on the support system in which early childhood education and care and parenting support centers are embedded in Korea as well as those of developed counties. Also, the issues of development and implementation of more effective parenting support programs are key themes throughout this paper. Implications and suggestions for research, practice, and policy development in the future were provided.
