With rapid socio-economic development and changing family structures, there is a significant increase in demand for childcare services for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 in China. Government policy support for childcare services has been strengthening, yet current provisions still face numerous shortcomings in both availability and quality. This study analyzes the current supply and demand situation of childcare services, proposes fundamental assessments for the development of childcare services for infants and toddlers aged 0-3 in our country, and explores strategies and pathways to enhance supply capacity, improve policy support, elevate service quality, and bolster societal awareness. The aim is to provide insights that facilitate the healthy development of China's childcare service system, emphasizing the importance of standardization and high-quality development in promoting these services.
