We investigated the particulars of one hundred and forty-six high school students' experiences through childcare learning activities in high school home economics. The descriptions of their impression were classified into eight categories and twenty-eight sub categories. The analyses were revealed as follows : The students simultaneously understood about the characteristic features of young children and early childhood care, experienced their emotions, self-searching; the characteristic features of young children were classified "personality and mentality", "attitude and behavior", "body", "language", "human relationship", "interaction to environment", and "cognition"; almost all of the students felt positive emotions; the students perceived that childcare is hard and meaningful through interaction between them and young children. On the basis of these finding, we suggested teaching contents and matters in childcare as follows : the teachers should incorporate the view of development and individual variation of young children to understand their characteristics; the variations and individualities that the students have experienced are related to their universal knowledge; the teachers should make the students understand that childcare is a professional job; and the teachers should value and enrich student's self-searching.
