Statistics compiled by the Department of Education of the Taipei City Government show that the number of kindergartens has increased from 161 in 1976 to more than 280 this year. In addition, there are hundreds more which have not been registered. Sometimes it seems there is a kindergarten in every other street.
就以台北市來說，根據台北市教育局的統計，今（七○）年台北市立案的幼稚園共有二百八十多所（六十五年時有一百六十一所），而未立案的幼稚園、托兒所，更是不計其數，難以估計。
