Abstract

The objectives of this research were to examine 1) the level of administrative factors of childcare centers, 2) the level of the standards-based implementation of childcare centers, 3) the relationship between administrative factors and the standards-based implementation of childcare centers, and 4) administrative factors affecting the standards-based implementation of childcare centers under local government organizations in Rayong. The sample consisted of 217 childcare teachers. Krejcie and Morgan's table was used to calculate the sample size. The research instrument was a 5-rating scale questionnaire with the reliability of .98. The statistics for data analysis were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and Multiple regression analysis.

            The research findings revealed that: 1) The level of administrative factors of childcare centers overall and in each aspect was at a high level, ranking by the mean scores from high to low: budget, organization structures, information technology, strategy, and personnel, 2) The level of the standards-based implementation of childcare centers overall and in each aspect was at a high level, ranking by the mean scores from high to low: taking care and organizing learning experiences, child’s quality, and child development center management, 3)The relationship between administrative factors and the standards-based implementation of childcare centers was at a high positive correlation with a .05 level of significance, and 4) Administrative factors in terms of budget and personnel affected the standards-based implementation of childcare centers with a .05 level of significance. The said variables were able to predict the standards-based implementation of childcare centers at 58.50%. The predictive equation could be written in form of standard scores as Z'_Y = .477Z₅ + .318Z₁
