This study aims to analyze the behavior seen from the children's developmental aspect and provide the basic data for a better play environment by analyzing children's play behavior occurring in each space. The methods of this study are as follows. First, the concept of the kid cafe and the importance of play will be considered and children's developmental characteristics will be identified, and second, the spatial characteristics and behavior according to the children's behavioral development will be considered to conduct the case analysis of the space by facility.
