This paper aims at researching for factors that affect development of social aspects of children by comparing between family background and child care facilities, while the number of working moms are increasing. An object of this study is children sent to (Work) child care facility and general child care facility (public or endowed facility) located in Kyungi-do by working mom, and total number of 9 (Work) child care facilities with 217 children and 5 general child care facilities with 112 children. 'EC-HOME' measure targeting age of 3 to 6 by Coldwell and Bradley(2003), which is reconstituted relevant to Korea society by Kim-jungmi and Kwak-geumju(2007), is used as measure in this paper, and in case of measure for the development of social aspects of children was referred to Dervereux children circumstances assessment questionnaire with 37 questions(LeBuffe & Naglieri, 1999). In addition, child care measurement used by Gu-eunmi(2004) which was to get information about the quality of child care program is used to know about the degree of child care program recognized by teachers. As a result of the experiment, the average points for development of social aspects of children at the companies’ day care facility, but as of this experiment, we did not find any difference in statistics between the two children. Second, we did not find any significant factors related to child care facility that affect development of social aspects of children. However, as type of child care facility, lenth of service of teachers in child care facility, academic ability of teachers, the level of child care program have coefficient, it has positive effects on development of children as the value of variables get bigger. Also, the more teachers working at child care facility have career changes, the more serious effects devlopment of social aspects of children has. Third, we did find two significant factors of family background related to child care facility that affect development of social aspects of children, which are age of children entering facility and learning stimulation among child activities.. we did not find any difference in statistics between parenting style of mother and development of social aspects of children, meanwhile there was significant relationship between learning stimulation and development of social aspects. This paper explores the aspects that decide the development of children born from family of a working mom by using hierarchical linear model and we can find out that most of factors that decide the development of children are from family background rather than child care facilities. Therefore, we imply the necessity of studying the aspects that decide the development of children of a working mom in multilateral sides, and also we suggest the follow-up study of way to increase the significance of child care facility on the development of children.
