Analyzing Application of Froebel and Chen Heqin’s theories
4.1 Use of Froebel’s Kindergarten Education
What modern early childhood education gets from Froebel’s preschool education thoughts is to emphasis on the importance of family education. Families have an irreplaceable important role in children's education. Parents are children’s first teacher. Parents are who they contact most and impact biggest.

First, it is not sufficient to find the English literature. Second, in research content, the theoretical research of Froebel and Chen Heqin is not comprehensive, just from some similarities. Third, translation in Chen Heqin’s theories about proper nouns is not in place. Some sentences are just according to my own understanding.

Theory comes from practice, and applies to practice. At present the development of China's preschool education has a great progress compared to the past, but problems are still quite a lot.

    The current time period is one of unprecedented change; and of almost constant interaction, with each other, and with those of distant lands. Based on enhancements in technology and communication, one would assume that over the generation between the time when the first edition of Preschool in Three Cultures was published and when Preschool in Three Cultures Revisted was published, would show that education officials are closer to understanding what the best practices are for the universal preschool-aged child. Educators, administrators, and policy makers have been exposed to more practices from around the globe than ever before. Being that all three preschools are working with the same age group, with similar developmental needs, one would think that these three nations’ early childhood education systems have grown more alike because best practices for a three year old should look the same in the United States, China, and Japan. Along with that thought, each system has elements of value: shouldn’t “best” parts of each system be combined to create the “perfect
