Early childhood education can also be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Broadly speaking, all purposeful activities that can affect children's physical growth and cognitive, emotional and personality development, such as watching TV, doing housework and participating in social activities under the guidance of adults, can be said to be early childhood education. Preschool education in a narrow sense refers to the education of kindergartens and other specialized preschool education institutions. Kindergarten education belongs to the school education system in China. Like school education, kindergarten education also has advantages that family education and social education do not have, such as planning and systematization. Kindergarten education focuses on preschool teachers and devotes itself to publicizing the policies of the Party and the state on preschool education, reflecting the achievements of preschool education research and reform, exchanging experiences in kindergarten, nursery and family education, introducing information on preschool education at home and abroad, and providing information on preschool education activities and teaching reference materials.

In 20 16, the number of kindergarten children increased by 66%, and the number of kindergartens nationwide reached 239,800, an increase of 74%; In the three years before 20 17, the gross enrollment rate reached 79.6%, which not only exceeded the average level of middle-and high-income countries, but also completed the target task of reaching 70% in 2020 put forward in the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020) ahead of schedule.
