Purpose: This study aimed to identify the problems and improvement areas by reviewing the laws related tokindergarden healthcare workers.
Methods: The laws were searched at the Korean law information center(https://www.law.go.kr/). We reviewed the 「Early Childhood Education Act」, 「School Health Act」, 「MedicalService Act」, 「Elementary and Secondary Education Act」and their enforcement decrees and rules.
Results: Thelegal role of health teachers as school healthcare professionals was comprehensively specified by the 「SchoolHealth Act. However, the qualifications for and roles of health teachers were not fully described in 「Early ChildhoodEducation Act], indicating a unclear legal basis for the qualifications for and roles of kindergarten health teachers. To support healthcare workers in kindergartens, it is necessary to amend the 「Early Childhood Education Act」that provides the guidelines for qualifications for kindergarten health teachers in elementary, secondary, andspecial schools who have completed necessary continuing education. A health hub kindergarten could be astep-by-step option for all kindergartens to have healthcare workers.
Conclusion: This review demonstrated theimportance of amending the laws on kindergarten health teachers and health hub kindergartens for child healthand safety. These findings could be used to support policies related to kindergarten healthcare workers.
