China has a complex system of multiple types of preschool provision, different
funding models, a rural-urban divide and a diverse population in relation to place of
origin, language dialects and socio economic status. In this paper we explore the complex
situation of preschool provision and implications for policy makers in China. As
the provision of preschool education is increasingly privatized there is a concern that
children from low income families may not have access to quality early care and education
services. Affordability and access to education in the early years has become a
major concern of governments concerned about equity and the development of human
capital. Case studies have been carried out in Beijing, as a developed urban centre and
in Yinchuan, as a rural centre in the west of China. The data presented examines the
relationship between types of service, fees charged and the income of families who
access these services.
