Objective: This study aims to design and evaluate a comprehensive ontology for occupations related to children. Given the crucial role of this field in developing children's cognitive, emotional, and social skills, there is a need for a standardized framework to identify and analyze these occupations. This research seeks to establish a structured model to categorize occupations, essential skills, and relevant educational curricula based on labor market analysis and expert evaluations. Method: The study employed content analysis and expert evaluation methods. Data were collected from job advertisements in employment platforms and the review of recruitment regulations. A panel of five experts in educational sciences, child psychology, pedagogy, and labor market analysis were formed to assess the accuracy and relevance of the extracted data. Statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance, were used for data analysis. Findings: The results identified 19 key occupations in the child-related sector, with their required skills categorized into nine main groups. Expert evaluations revealed that play-based learning and child behavior analysis received the highest consensus, while classroom management had the lowest agreement. In terms of educational curricula, emotional regulation in children and educational game design received the highest approval, whereas child psychology theories had the lowest acceptance among experts. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the importance of establishing standardized criteria for child-related occupations. Continuous updates of occupational ontologies, the development of specialized training programs, and the formulation of educational standards for essential skills are among the key recommendations of this study. The results can serve as a foundation for policymakers and employers to define career pathways more clearly and optimize skill requirements in the child-related job sector.
