本研究旨在瞭解家長對兒童課後照顧服務品質與滿意度之現況及其相關性。研究採「調查法」，以「立意取樣」的方式選取台北市12所公立國小低年級，參加學校課後照顧的兒童之家長為研究樣本，共發放585份問卷，回收489份，實得有效樣本471份，有效率96%。研究工具包括兩部份：「個人背景資料調查表」及「服務品質量表與滿意度量表」。所得資料經電腦統計套裝軟體SPSS 12.0 for Windows進行資料統計及分析，所使用之統計分析方法為：次數分配、百分比、平均數、標準差、單因子變異數分析、薛費事後比較分析及皮爾森積差相關等方法。主要研究結果如下：1.家長對兒童課後照顧「服務品質」看法傾向於「很重要」之認知。2.家長對兒童課後照顧「服務滿意度」看法傾向於「很滿意」之認知。3.家長對兒童課後照顧「服務品質」會因為「身份」、「教育程度」、「年齡」、「家庭型態」之不同而有顯著差異存在。4.家長對兒童課後照顧「服務滿意度」會因為「年齡」、「教育程度」、「家庭月總收入」之不同而有顯著差異存在。5.家長對兒童課後照顧之「服務品質」與「服務滿意度」呈顯著中程度之正相關。根據上述研究結果，建議家長宜多積極參加學校親職活動，以瞭解孩子在學校學習狀況。學校方面，宜多注意：午餐或點心的清潔衛生問題、營養均衡問題、放學時間的配合、加強功課指導、老師與家長的溝通聯繫加強…等；教育單位方面，期望能採用評鑑制度，獎勵、績優的考核方式，以利兒童課後照顧服務品質與滿意度的提升。
