Professional analysis:

Education is a unique social activity to cultivate people. Education comes into being with the emergence of human society and develops with the development of society. Since ancient times, the development of education has different historical characteristics.

However, preschool education is a discipline gradually formed on the basis of the development of educational practice. Preschool education has its unique research object and distinctive subject characteristics. Its development has gone through embryonic stage, independent form and development stage. Education is all purposeful, planned and organized activities to enhance people's knowledge and skills and influence people's ideology and morality.
