Abstract
Preschool education in China is gaining importance. As a result of the “only child, one family policy”, it is increasingly, thought of as the important means of socialization into the state. This study looks at the daily activities of one preschool in southern China. It reviews the attitudes of educators and parents, and the application of social theory to curriculum and pedagogy in the Chinese preschool. Special emphasis is placed upon the words and ideas of the teachers and administrators in reference to the policies created by the government.Keywords
