Features: In the past decade or so, tremendous changes have taken place in society. We have personally experienced the vitality brought by the reform and opening-up, as well as the profound impact of the shift from a planned economy management system to a market economy management model on people's lives, work, and learning. Of course, this vitality and impact have also deeply penetrated into the field of preschool education. Kindergartens are facing changes in their educational objectives, needs, concepts, and management systems. They are also facing the demands of educational reform on kindergarten reform, including reforms in the allocation system, personnel system, operational system, and curriculum reform, all of which challenge the original experience-based management of kindergartens. Management theories such as human-centered management, organizational structure, organizational culture, leadership and decision-making, motivation and needs, and communication skills are gradually being understood, accepted, and applied. The transformation of kindergarten management has become inevitable. The creative design ideas for kindergarten management collected in this book cover eight aspects: legal-based operation and institutional innovation, operational development decisions and planning, kindergarten curriculum reform, kindergarten cultural construction, teacher education and team management, kindergarten resource management, kindergarten-family-community interaction, and kindergarten self-evaluation. Each design case represents a new exploration by kindergarten directors in the reform of management.
