Preschool education is an undergraduate major under the category of pedagogy and a first-class discipline of pedagogy. In this category, the strongest university is a non-normal university. Let's take a look at the top universities in this major: Beijing Normal University, East China Normal University, Nanjing Normal University, Huazhong Normal University, Shaanxi Normal University, South China Normal University, Capital Normal University, Northeast Normal University, Southwest University, Zhejiang Normal University and other universities with strong strength.

Graduation Requirements and Employment Scope of Preschool Education Specialty The counterpart employment units of Preschool Education Specialty are kindergartens, parent-child centers, early education centers, children's performance groups, children's book publishing units, etc. Graduates of this major are required to have a very extensive knowledge reserve, profound cultural accomplishment, good conduct, be a teacher, and good organizational management and coordination skills in addition to their strong educational and teaching abilities.
This is an all-round major, especially in the field of children's education and teaching. We can see the clue from the setting of specialized courses. Courses offered by this major include preschool children's game theory, kindergarten language education activity design, kindergarten health education activity design, kindergarten music education activity design, kindergarten art education activity design, kindergarten science education activity design, kindergarten social education activity design, kindergarten hygiene, kindergarten toy making, infant piano accompaniment, infant solfeggio and singing, children's literature, infant education research methods and training, and kindergarten management.
Preschool education is an important part of aesthetic education. At present, many kindergarten teachers in our country have graduated from junior college or even high school, and many parents' cognition of kindergarten is also in a state of "taking care of children", which is a very wrong concept, because children's enlightenment education and aesthetic education are very important stages in this period. Without this stage, aesthetic education for children becomes a luxury. At present, the aesthetic education we advocate in primary schools and junior high schools is actually one step behind. This is why, in Japan and some European and American countries, the requirements for kindergarten teachers are higher than those for primary and secondary school teachers, which is very reasonable.
I hope that one day, when all our kindergarten teachers graduate from undergraduate or even master's degree in preschool education, the problem of aesthetic education for our children will be solved, so that children can maintain an aesthetic education inertia in primary and junior high schools.
