The Chinese parents expressed their interesting views and gave much prominence to their young children's play in childcare centres.
Some Chinese parents believed that young children should learn through play, by interacting with materials, and based on their interests, because "children broaden their thinking through play." They believed that childcare centres are places for young children to play and a school is a place for formal learning.
Some parents conveyed their perspectives about young children should be free to play in their early years, free to do everything, and do what they want to do. Early childhood centres bring a big advantage to young children that is the children can have messy play.
Comparing the Chinese educational system with the Western one, these parents believed there no one is better or worse since the practices are based on different cultural values and beliefs.
