Abstract
China first began allocating financial resources into early childhood education (ECE) at the end of the Qing dynasty. In 1903, the first public ECE institution, Hubei Kindergarten, was established with features similar to that of an education institution. The foundation of the public social ECE institution marked the start of the Chinese government’s financial support of ECE. Since then, many more specialized public agencies have emerged.
