The large-scale restoration of child-friendly institutions began in the Qing Dynasty. The earliest child-friendly institution in Qing Dynasty was Shi Jing Nursery School, which was built in Guangqumen in the first year of Kangxi. The kindergarten founded by Tang Jian in Guizhou was a child-friendly educational institution with educational function. This is the first child-friendly institution that integrates child care and education in the history of our country.

The main function of the bureau is to adopt abandoned children and hire nurses to raise children. The nursery was founded by educator Zhu, and its function is similar to that of the bureau.
