Tao Xingzhi believes that preschool education should focus on cultivating children's creativity and imagination, not just imparting knowledge. He put forward the concept of "life is education", emphasizing that education should be closely integrated with life, so that children can learn and grow in life. He believes that kindergarten should be a loving and caring environment, and teachers should care for children like parents and give them warmth and support.
In addition, Tao Xingzhi also advocates that children should have more contact with nature and society, so that children can learn in practice. He advocates the use of gamification teaching methods to let children learn knowledge in games. He also stressed the need to respect children's personality development and encourage them to think and solve problems independently.
In a word, Tao Xingzhi's pre-school education thought emphasizes the combination of education and life, the cooperation between teachers and parents, gamification teaching and respect for personality development. These thoughts still have important reference value for today's preschool education.
