Government funding is limited to urban area

Page 14: Global child care

Child care is available to people who can afford it

Page 15: Global child care

Majority child care centers in urban area

Page 16: Global child care

Public kindergartens: 5000 Yuan≈$833.No sponsorship fees.

Private kindergartens:8000 Yuan≈$1300.Have sponsorship fees.

Page 17: Global child care

The kindergartens are concentrated in a city.

Page 18: Global child care

There are few centers in rural areaPer year per child pays 2000 Yuan≈$833

Page 19: Global child care

That ratio is about 1: 20-40

No legislation enforces

Three Type of Early Childhood Programs

• Nurseries• kindergarten • pre-primary programs.

Page 24: Global child care

Nurseries

Nurseries serve children under age 3. Small group size and many caregivers assure prompt, abundant care. Since physical care and nurturing are the primary goals, the caregivers are trained as "nurses" rather than teachers. Programs for 2-year-olds are often combined with kindergartens.

Page 25: Global child care

KindergartenIn China, the term "kindergarten" refers to full-day programs serving children from age 3 to age 6. About 20 percent of the 3-to-6 year-olds attend kindergarten .The programs serve the twofold purpose of child care and educational preparation.

A variety of sources provide kindergarten programs - the government, government-licensed private individuals and neighborhood committees, and work units. Work units are government-operated comprehensive communities in which workers and their families work and reside, such as those organized around a college or factory.

Children are generally grouped by age in kindergarten. Government regulations in 1981 recommended three groupings: juniors (3-year-olds) , middle (4-year-olds) and seniors (5-year-olds) Education replaces physical care as the primary emphasis in this program. Class size increases with age, ranging from 20 to 40 children. Each group typically has two teachers and a nurse.

Page 26: Global child care

Pre-primary Program

An alternative type of early childhood

program is the pre-primary classroom,

which is a part of the elementary

school. It is typically a half-day program

serving children the year prior to 1st

grade. Comparable to U.S. public

kindergartens, these classes usually

place greater emphasis upon academics

and use teaching methods similar to

those of the Chinese elementary

classrooms.

Page 27: Global child care

CurriculumThe nationally prescribed curriculum includes language, math, art, music, physical education and general knowledge, which is a combination of science and social studies.

Singing and dancing occupy an important

place in the curriculum. Even 2-year-olds

may participate in well-rehearsed public

performances of song and dance routines.
