I. Academic definition
1. Preschool education can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Preschool education in a broad sense refers to the care and education of children from birth to 6 or 7 years old. Preschool education in a narrow sense refers to the care and education of children aged 3-6 or 7.
2. Preschool education is one of the majors with the highest employment rate, and many kindergartens need to place orders in advance. Because the society is not short of kindergarten teachers, but short of high-educated and high-quality kindergarten teachers. Such a teacher should not only have certain artistic practice ability, but also have extensive cultural accomplishment and wisdom of understanding things and observing people, as well as keen scientific research consciousness and good scientific research ability.
3. The kindergarten teacher industry is short of talents. Perhaps many people want to aspire to be a kindergarten teacher and make their own efforts. However, it is difficult to find the specialty of kindergarten teachers, and many schools do not offer it. In fact, kindergarten teachers are also called preschool education. Preschool education not only includes kindergarten teachers, but also has a wider learning range than kindergarten teachers.
Second, the development prospects
1. The early education market in China began to sprout on 1998. After 10 years of development, early education institutions have experienced a period of rapid expansion. Local early education institutions represented by Sports Baby, Red, Yellow and Blue and overseas brands represented by Gymboree and Genius Baby jointly occupy the current early education market.
2. On the whole, however, preschool education is still a weak link in all kinds of education, with a serious shortage of educational resources, unbalanced urban and rural development and imperfect teachers. In some places, the problem of "difficult and expensive admission" is more prominent.
