The surveys were administered to the subjects, and the data were analyzed by means of the SPSS 12.0 program. The major results of this study were as follows : After the introduction of the 'I-Sarang Card Business', parents found the payment of childcare fee to be more convenient than previously and evaluated the effects of 'I-Sarang Card Business' to be more positive than the childcare center directors. On the other hand, childcare center directors had difficulties in taking care of 'I-Sarang Card Business' related administration and their evaluations were therefore more negative.
