The purpose of this study is to clarify the extent to which the efforts related to the “Action Plan” in Higashihiroshima City, are recognized by the childcare workers engaged in the selected nursery schools, and the parents of the students at these schools, as well as the differences between them. The results revealed that efforts to “incorporate the natural environment, including plants and animals, into childcare” were highly recognized by both, childcare workers, and parents. In addition, Mann-Whitney’s U-test results showed that “childcare with awareness of the five capabilities formulated by the Hiroshima Prefectural Board of Education,” “efforts for collaboration between day-care centers and elementary schools,” “introduction of a childcare coordinator system, formulated by Higashihiroshima City” and “implementation of parent questionnaire surveys,” were the four initiatives for which childcare workers assign significantly higher value items. On the other hand, the item with significantly higher scores among parents was “Implementation of open class,” but an inadequacy was pointed out in the question setting. Furthermore, since the survey was conducted twice in one year, a within-participant comparison of childcare workers revealed no significant differences between the first and second rounds of the survey.
