近年來,國家愈發重視學前教育行業的發展。雖然這個行業呈現出多元化的發展趨勢,但中國學前教育的主要形式仍是托兒所和幼兒園。
中國的托兒所為三歲以下的嬰兒提供保育服務。既有日間托兒所,也有寄宿托兒所。幼兒園則招收三至六歲的兒童。幼兒園將照管看護與教學相結合,使兒童在身體、道德、智力和審美方面得到發展,為他們接受正規學校教育做好準備。
In recent years, our country has paid more attention to the development of the pre-school education industry. Although the industry is exhibiting a diversified development trend, the main forms of pre-school education in China still remain nurseries and kindergartens.
China’s nurseries provide care for babies under the age of three. There are day nurseries as well as boarding nurseries. Kindergartens enroll children from age three to six. Kindergartens combine childcare with teaching so that the children will develop physically, morally, intellectually and aesthetically in preparation for their formal school education.
