Abstract

Preschool education in China has made great progress during the past few decades, and more and more people are aware of its great importance for the development of children. However, there are still deficiencies in China’s education curriculum system, many kindergartens are unsure of what kind of curriculum should be used to nurture children. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the current preschool education curriculum system in China and the physical, cognitive, and other characteristics of preschool children, it is believed that there is a problem of incompatibility between systematization and specialization in the system. Based on the analysis, this paper gives the following suggestions: The preschool education curriculum system can combine the national curriculum, the local curriculum, and the site-based curriculum. More natural education and local characteristic culture could be added to the curriculum system. The preschool education curriculum system should also increase the main role of students and improve the curriculum evaluation system.
