Abstract

This chapter reviews early childhood education (ECE) in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in a post-emergency situation, using the Sichuan earthquake as an example. It begins by describing the effect of the earthquake on May 12, 2008, in Sichuan on ECE. Thousands of kindergartens were damaged, and many children, families, and teachers were dead or missing. It next focuses on the redevelopment of ECE after the earthquake highlighting the role of ECE professionals and other volunteers. Finally, it summarizes the lessons from the responses of the ECE community to this emergency situation.
