Abstract With the rapid development of modern society, the problem of low birth rate is being highlighted as a serious social problem. In particular, double-income families are having a lot of trouble with their children’s upbringing. In response, the government encourages businesses to run workplace children’s homes alone. This study aims to conduct a study on the nursing space design of the workplace children’s daycare centers according to the development of infant children Research methods were conducted by literature research, field visits, and surveys. The target space is six workplace children’s homes in Seoul, and the space was assessed by a survey by teachers. Child [care space is classified as nursery, playroom, library space, nursing space and bathroom, and infant behavior is concluded by evaluating design planning factors in terms of emotional and social development, physical and motor development, verbal development and cognitive development. First, the element of comfort was rated the highest in the nursery for infants. Control, order and flexibility will need to be strengthened. Second, the element of safety was the highest in the playroom. Play facilities and areas for the development of large-scale muscle should be established through multi-purpose entertainment rooms, etc. Third, the element of privacy was rated the highest in the library space. Areas that can stimulate personal viewing space and senses should be established. Fourth, the element of health was rated the highest in the feeding space and the restrooms. It should be planned as a nursing space separated from a stand-alone toilet.
