This study examines diagrams of space organization and classroom activity zoning through Korean Childcare
Accreditation Criteria, and compares space diagrams with childcare facilities in Daejeon, and looks at similarities and
differences between them. Space diagram from accreditation criteria show the classroom, adjoining toilets, napping
areas, and community areas for playing, reading, cooking, teaching and holding materials. Classroom zone diagrams
show 8 activity zones for entering, washing and toilet, making art, playing, reading, studying science, resting, playing
role and wooden block. Six case studies in Daejeon, Korea were surveyed and classified into big, medium and small
size facilities by the number of children. The space organization of case studies are similar to the diagrams, except
that outdoor playground and indoor playrooms were not large enough at the small and medium size facilities. Classroom
activity zoning was very similar to the conceptions, excluding the playarea from classroom, integrating the rest areas
for reading, subdividing art into music and art, science, and into math and science, roleplay into roleplay and wooden
block. In conclusion childcare centers in Daejeon are designed to the concept diagram of the accreditation criteria,
with some flexibility, exclusion, integration, and subdivision of space and activity zones. It has been requested as
to make each criteria fit to the facility sizes-big, medium and small.
