The purpose of this paper is to investigate what skill is preferred for the physical education teachers at preschools. For this purpose, I surveyed teachers and owners of preschools, and the following is its result. First, 73% of the subjective think that physical education at preschools is needed, and 79.6% of the preschools has the physical education programs at present. The reasons why they do the physical education programs are (1) to increase their basic physical fitness (66%), (2) to keep their sound life by sound bodies (28.9%). These show that our society is much interested in the physical education for preschoolers. Second, 49.6% of the subjective want the physical education as preferred teachers` major. 58.8% preferred male teachers to female (8.4%). 83.8% pay them less 150,000 Won, and 96.2% hire them as part-time teachers. Third, the subjective says some ages need exercise prescription, motion analysis, sex education, physical fitness and basic life not involving educational background. People with job experience prefer prescription, motion analysis, utensil exercise, play education, ball games. This means teachers thinking exercise treatment and motion analysis are important of the physical education programs for preschoolers. Although preschools recognized education for preschoolers is needed as shown in the above, part-time teacher system is still done, with too low payment. Therefore, people without optimal qualification are in charge of physical education, which cause the low quality education. Preferred programs at preschools are exercise prescription and motion analysis which need special knowledge and are hard for common people to teach. Physical education for preschoolers needs to be supported by qualified teachers since the educatees are very young and the programs are specialized. Therefore, full-charge teacher system can be its solution, which will lead physical education for preschoolers having low quality presently to be practical and specialized. For this, working condition for teachers should be improved.
