The purpose of this study was to report the practical childcare support activities con-ducted in the early childhood care and education course of a college,and to clarify the educational effect that such activities had on the students. First,we report the childcare support activities conducted in 2010 in "the Gathering Place in Kurume Shinai Women's College," an endeavor that we established in 2008. Next,we investigated the growth of the students as future child-care workers in their professional abilities concerning practicalchild-care. These students continuously planned and practiced child care support activities for the parents and children who participated in the Gathering Place. As a result,these students made considerable progress in understanding how to play and listen to children. However,it became clear that the progress in students' interactions with the participatingchildren was not uniform. On the basis of these results,we discuss about the significance of and problems related to educational effects on students who participate in childcare support activities.
