In Free China, children receive pre-school education by attending kindergartens, where they can learn to sing, dance, draw and do manual work, in addition to courses like penmanship and simple mathematics. More important, they are supposed to learn there how to be modest, how to behave, how to get along with other people in a group and the meaning of person-to-person relationship.
一般孩子在上小學前都是要上幼稚園的，孩子們在其間學習唱歌、跳舞、畫畫、勞作，以及簡單的讀、寫、算，而更重要的，是從團體遊戲中，學習禮讓、合群與守規矩，建立人際關係的初步基礎。
