Personal, family and school factors all have close relation to participate in daycare and extra-curricula. Student is the first child in families, living in Taipei city, born into rich families or studying in big schools, factoring in significantly high rate to participate in daycare and extra-curricula. Parents’ education level and mother’s job have other relations to participate in daycare or extra-curricula; Family interaction is related to fourth grade students’ participation of daycares. Peer interaction and students’ health condition are related to fourth grade students’ participation of extra-curricula.
