As the carrier of preschool education, kindergarten curriculum directly affects children's current development and lays the foundation for their future and even lifelong development. Kindergarten curriculum is a means to realize the goal of early childhood education and an intermediary to realize the all-round development of early childhood. Therefore, the kindergarten curriculum should aim at the harmonious development of children in physical, cognitive, emotional and social aspects, and should be comprehensive.
The characteristics of children's physical and mental development determine that children know the world mainly through their senses. On the basis of rich perceptual experience, children can understand things and form a relatively abstract understanding of the world. Children's cognitive characteristics of action and image determine that kindergarten curriculum must take the educational activities that children actively participate in as the basic component. The direct experience gained by children in activities is the basis for children to develop and understand the world.
Compared with primary and secondary school curriculum, a prominent feature of kindergarten curriculum is its potential and concealment. Of course, there are hidden courses in primary and secondary schools, but after all, the power of explicit courses is much stronger.
