Abstract
Germany is the birthplace of preschool education, and after long-term development, it has formed a relatively complete advanced preschool education system. Kindergarten education is part of preschool education. Therefore, this study hopes to play a certain role in the current kindergarten reform in China by comparing the differences between the teaching organization forms of kindergartens in China and Germany, drawing on the advantages of the current kindergarten education in Germany and combining it with the local situation in China. The reasons for the difference between Chinese and German kindergartens will be analyzed from the organizational form of kindergartens. The biggest difference between German and Chinese kindergartens is that German kindergartens adopt mixed-age classes, while Chinese kindergartens adopt same-age classes. The reasons for these differences are the two countries' policies and economic and cultural attitudes. Then it compares the theoretical basis of different teaching organization forms in the two countries, analyzes the value of these two different teaching organization forms, and combines the advantages of German kindergarten education to put forward reasonable and feasible suggestions for Chinese kindergarten education.
