I’d be curious to know how ECE courses are in China. I can’t see them having the same emphasis on play based learning and child focused pedagogy.

I'm guessing you mean Early childhood education. Stupid acronyms everywhere (SAE, I called it).

A former coworker of mine used to run a child care in Beijing before she came to us. You could see the difference in her first group with us; they were very disciplined, and she was kinda focused on making little performances. But she changed her style soon.

That said, she ran it privately in Beijing, so I'm going to take a wild guess that preschool stuff is more free market than dictated in China.

edit: hmm, I guess you were asking about studying that in PRC
