This study investigated the parental experience and needs in parenting programs conducted at the elementary schools to provide the basic data for the parenting education related to the Practical Arts Education. The 798 parents from the elementary schools located at the Daejeon metropolitan area were recruited by employing the systematic clustering sampling technique, and answered the self-reported-survey instrument. Only a half of parents had participated at the parenting education of their children's elementary schools. The topics in the education programs they experienced were limited and not customized, and instructed through the traditional lecture at the most of the time, expressing the dissatisfaction on their previous educational experience. The parents expressed various needs in parenting education both related to the Practical Arts Education and in general, in terms of contents and administration. The results from this study highlighted that parental desires to be an able parent was high but they depended on the non professional informational resources such as friends or internet. Also, parental needs in the contents were integrated into the two major spheres, 'healthy life habits' and 'good personality and abilities to build healthy relationships.' The parents valued both grand topics and also, according to their situations such as mother was working outside at home and/or occupational demand, the levels of needs expression varied. To fill in the gaps of parental needs and current practices in parenting education at the elementary school, authors of this study suggested to sensitize in the various parental needs, to aware the parenting education as the fundamental needs among the parents, and to provide customized at the various parental needs and high quality contents through the parenting academy by organizing community networks.
