Questionnaire survey of “The Job Satisfaction for Preschool Teachers” was conducted. A total of 535 questionnaires were distributed to public and private preschools in Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County and 432 valid ones were returned. SPSS statistic software was used to analyze the collected data, as well as the approaches including the descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis and so on. The main results are described as following: 1. Preschool teachers have highest satisfaction in their interpersonal relationship and lowest satisfaction in their salary and benefits. On the aspect of educare ability, they are best at offering care and interpersonal interactivity, not so good at the implement and management of teaching. 2. Results in job satisfaction show significant differences in variables such as age, marital status, education level, years of work experience in education and childcare; and the levels of educare ability show significant differences in individual background variables such as age, marital status, educational level, years of work experience in education and childcare. 3. There is positive correlation between job satisfaction and variables as age, educational level, years of work experience in education and childcare, salary and benefits; and negative correlation between job satisfaction and variables as size of the kindergarten and teacher to pupil ratio. 4.
