The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes and needs toward life education of kindergarten parents and their correlation in Kaohsiung City. The instruments implemented in this study were 'Questionnaire of Kindergarten Parents' Attitudes toward Life Education,' and 'Questionnaire of the Motivation and Needs in Life Education of Kindergarten Parents.' A survey of 500 kindergarten parents was conducted and 460 effective samples were obtained. Data were collected and analyzed by SPSS for Windows 17.0. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation, and Progressive Multiple Regression were used. The results of the study were as follows: (1) The kindergarten parents in Kaohsiung City have positive attitudes toward life education. (2) Parents have high needs in life education. (3) Parents who have heard about life education have much more positive attitudes and higher needs toward life education. Otherwise, there are no significant differences among other background variables. (4) Parents' attitudes toward life education could significantly predict the needs of life education. The more positive attitudes parents show toward life education, the higher needs in life education the parents express. (5) Parents show highest needs on 'Parents-Kids experiential activities in life education,' and by using films, lectures and or picture books are their second higher choices. According to the findings, we propose some suggestions for educational-administrative authorities, kindergartens and teachers as well as kindergarten parents and future researchers.
