The educational goal of kindergartens in China is to implement the policy of combining conservation with education, educate children to develop in an all-round way in physical, intellectual, moral and aesthetic aspects, and promote the harmonious development of children's body and mind.

The specific contents are as follows: promote the coordinated development of children's normal physical development and functions, enhance their physique, cultivate good living habits, hygiene habits and interest in participating in sports activities. Develop children's intelligence, cultivate children's basic ability of using senses and language communication correctly, enhance children's understanding of the environment, cultivate children's beneficial interest and desire for knowledge, and cultivate children's preliminary practical ability. Germinate children's feelings of loving hometown, motherland, collective, labor and science, and cultivate good moral behaviors, habits and lively and cheerful characters such as honesty, self-confidence, studious, friendly, brave, caring for public property, overcoming difficulties, courtesy and observing discipline. Cultivate children's initial interests and feelings and the ability to express beauty.

The goal of early childhood education is put forward according to the educational purpose and the nature and characteristics of early childhood education. The goal of kindergarten education in China is to cultivate all-round children, which embodies the basic spirit of China's educational purpose and takes into account the nature and characteristics of preschool education. The goal of early childhood education is slightly different from that of school education, such as putting "body" in the first place, because in the early childhood, the normal development of the body and the sound development of its functions are more important than in the later stage.

Fundamentally speaking, education is to cultivate people, so whether the educational goal is reasonable depends not only on social requirements, but also on whether it conforms to the law of physical and mental development of the educated object.

The overall goals of kindergartens include educational goals and management goals, which organically constitute a "management by objectives" system.
