By the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, China began to pay attention to the establishment of preschool education institutions. With the development of economy and the appearance of modern female workers, modern preschool education is objectively needed.

At the beginning of the 20th century, some kindergartens were established in various places. China's theory of preschool education and the implementation of kindergartens were first imitated from Japan, and later learned from Europe and America, which was greatly influenced by the church. At that time, some educators devoted themselves to researching and establishing preschool education suitable for China's national conditions. Among them, Chen Heqin founded Nanjing Gulou Kindergarten, and made an experimental study on the curriculum, teaching materials, teaching methods and equipment of the kindergarten.

History:

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), preschool educators summed up the experience of preschool education in China, learned useful experience from foreign countries, and did a lot of work in educational practice and scientific research, further revealing the laws of preschool education scientifically.

Some research achievements have been made in the organization of one-day education in kindergarten, life care and physical exercise for children, the cultivation of moral quality and behavior habits, the development of language and intelligence, the teaching methods of common sense, physical education, music, art design and calculation in kindergarten.
