ABSTRACT

Encouraged and permitted by national policies, the development of private kindergartens in China has been rapid. From the beginning of the reform and opening up to now, private kindergartens have accounted for half of the number of kindergartens in China and have become an important part of our education system. It is undeniable that private kindergartens have made outstanding contributions to the development of education in China in terms of improving education supply and service capabilities, but we should also pay attention to various problems in the development of private kindergartens. These problems are hindering the overall progress of China's preschool education, and the public is eager to be properly resolved. However, in order to cope with these problems, we cannot rely on market means. Instead, we must use the "hand of the government" to actively play the relevant role of the government and assume the government's proper functions in order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of private kindergartens.
