The purpose of this study is to seek methods that early childhood teachers exchange helps, have sense of belonging and grow together forming community of 'we' as member of early childhood education community by fostering early childhood education community realization competence through the research on the difference of early childhood education community realization competence according to general backgrounds and the effects of early childhood education community realization competence on the interaction of teachers and children. For this, the data collected from 275 teachers working in early childhood education institutions in Busan was analyzed with the use of SPSS 21.0 program. For understanding of general tendency of the participants, frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation were calculated, and the coefficient of internal consistency(Cronbach's α) was calculated to verify the reliability of the measuring tools. For the difference of early childhood teachers' early childhood education community realization competence according to their general backgrounds(age, education level, work experience, types of institutions where they work), one-way analysis of variance(One-Way ANOVA) was done, and for general tendency of variables, the analysis of product-moment correlation was done. For the effects of early childhood teachers' early childhood education community realization competence on the interaction of teachers and children, multiple regression analysis was done. The results are as follows. First, the result of researching the difference of early childhood education community realization competence according to teachers' general backgrounds shows that there is a significant difference depending on teachers' work experience and age. This means teachers' psychological competence for execution of partner role for early childhood education community realization and social competence that shares the value of education are higher as their age and work experience are higher. To reduce the difference of early childhood education community realization competence according to their general backgrounds, it is necessary to clarify all teachers' recognition on common education goals. Teachers of various backgrounds also need to agree when goals are set. Second, regarding the relation between teachers' early childhood education community realization competence and the interaction of teachers and children, there is positive correlation among teachers' early childhood education community realization competence, the interaction of teachers and children and all the sub-factors of the interaction. This indicates that as teachers' early childhood education community realization competence is higher, the level of the interaction is higher. The above results show that as teachers' age and work experience level are higher, their early childhood education community realization competence is higher, and there is positive correlation between their early childhood education community realization competence and the interaction of teachers and children. Therefore, it is important to make efforts to improve teachers' social competence for psychological competence for implementation of partner role in order to realize early childhood education community based on cooperation and sense of belonging through teacher training programs and local community network.
