Therefore, out-of-school teaching has become one of the teaching methods used by every school.This study investigated the factors affecting site selection of out-of-school teaching activities from the perspectives of public kindergarten administration, teachers, educare givers, and education scholars. Firstly, based on literature review, this study summarized the factors affecting site selection of out-of-school teaching activities. Secondly, this study used the screening method of modified Delphi questionnaire on experts to modify the original factors. Lastly, this study used analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to develop the weight system of criteria affecting site selection of out-of-school teaching activities of public kindergartens in Miaoli County. 　The weights of the overall decision-making show that, in the main dimension, the level of importance of “site characteristics” (38%) is the highest, followed by “courses and teaching materials” (29%), “teachers” (22%), and “special activities” (11%).Among 16 criteria of factors, the top 5 were “environmental safety of destination” (13%), “association with theme” (11%), “transport accessibility” (10%), “high actual participation of children” (10%), and “suitability for children” (9%). The research results can be provided as reference for teachers, kindergartens, and competent educational and administrative authorities to deal with site selection of out-of-school teaching activities.
