More and more so-called advanced cultures are entering kindergartens, prompting us to think about how to correctly develop the existing local cultures in the cultural context, while simultaneously accepting and absorbing the appropriate parts of foreign cultures. It is also necessary to maintain a balance between diversity and localization to prevent kindergartens from becoming a “colony” of foreign cultures. The development of suitable, cultural, and life-oriented kindergarten curricula from different perspectives is the focus of such a balance. Only in this way can kindergartens truly fulfill their educational functions and provide a vibrant and colorful environment for children.
