The purpose of this study is to clarify the emerging process of child care workers’ “untalked things” and the meaning of “untalked things” for child care workers. “Untalked things” are what they could not express verbally even though they would like to talk about their caring experiences. The cases of the conferences in a kindergarten show the following three characteristics of “untalked things” of the practitioners in early childhood care and education. First, “untalked things” are made by both a narrator and the listeners. Second, “untalked things” are also made by a narrator even after the conference finished. Third, “untalked things” are sometimes kept untalked by a narrator in the conference. In preceding studies on this relating theme, researchers pointed out that talking about the practice of early childhood care and education in words was important for the personal developmental process as child care workers. However this study suggests that talking about the childcare practice does not always rely on the workers’ own narrative ability but on the relationship in the conference's situations. And this study finds out that “untalked things” have also potentialities to enhance the quality in early childhood care and education.
