The book is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1, Introduction, elaborates on the fundamental connotation, content, and objectives of early childhood science education, the current issues in early childhood science education, and the basic strategies for science education in kindergartens. Chapters 2 to 8 are organized according to the five major teaching domains in kindergartens: Health, Language, Society, Science, and Art.

The book introduces the integration of early childhood science literacy development in various activities in kindergartens. Different curriculum areas have distinct focuses, with objectives, content, and methods that are interconnected yet distinct.
