Characteristics of kindergarten education
First, the foundation and inspiration
From the perspective of educational composition, kindergarten education is the initial link of the school system and the foundation of the whole school system. 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.
From the perspective of human development, children are in the primary stage of life development, which is the beginning from ignorance to society. Therefore, children's curriculum does not seek to impart profound and systematic knowledge, but only needs to let children experience the most superficial knowledge and concepts about nature, society and human beings, help children understand the world around them, open their wisdom and mind, and sprout their excellent personality and quality.
Second, comprehensiveness and life.
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.

Therefore, kindergarten curriculum must have strong life characteristics. Curriculum content should come from children's lives, and curriculum implementation should run through children's lives.
Third, activities and direct experience.
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.
