There are about1500 ~ 20 million newborns in China every year, and about1200,000 infants aged 0 ~ 6 years. Most of them live in families and communities. How their quality relates to the development of children, the happiness of families, the prosperity of the country and the future of society. We should understand the significance of developing early community education and improving the quality of the born population from the strategic height of rejuvenating the country through science and education and the strategic vision of sustainable development.
Since the 1990s, with the social and economic development of our country and the improvement of people's awareness of the importance of early education, early education institutions such as service institutions that provide early education tutors for communities and families and parent-child parks that recruit infants and parents to participate in parent-child activities have emerged in economically developed areas and some cities. On the other hand, kindergartens have successively entered the park for infants under 3 years old, realizing the integrated education of infants and young children. In China, there is a great demand for early education teachers in various private kindergartens. The existing early education practitioners have neither received systematic pre-service training nor formal vocational training, so it is difficult to be competent for early education, and the gap of qualified teachers is large, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of early education.
According to statistics, since the 1990s, China's early education accounts for about 1/3 of the total family education expenditure, which is obviously higher than the growth of family income and faster than the growth of GDP, and has become a hot spot of consumption. As a new profession, early education tutor has a very broad employment prospect. Nurses, nurses and domestic nannies are far from meeting the needs of society. The market is calling for a new profession-the emergence of early education tutors.
