Chinese child development is more efficient then American Child development. There are many reasons as to why this is. The Chinese are constantly tending to their children. In the Chinese daycare, there is an adult that attends to only one child. Of course there may not be an adult for every child if they were short-handed. Only two or three adults attend to a class of toddlers in America. Also, the Chinese start teaching their children at an extremely young age. They start teaching their children when they are small babies and in America, the child is usually a toddler before they are first taught.
The Chinese are constantly tending to their children. They hardly ever let their child out of sight. In China, it is customary to have only one child. So the child is always looked after because there is not a worry that another of the children is getting hurt or lost. When a child starts to cry there is always an adult that calms the child down. They are constantly holding and comforting their children. In a Chinese daycare, an adult takes one child under his or her wing. If the daycare staff is short-handed, then an adult will take two or three children under his or her wing.
American child development is not a loss, but it is not as effective as Chinese child development. American families usually have more then one child. So, it is harder to keep up with a child. In an American daycare, there are two or three adults attending to a class of fifteen or so. Therefore, the children cannot be attended to as much as needed. There are not enough adults in an America that work in daycare. The American parent doesn’t stay with the child as much as the Chinese parent does.
Another key factor in Chinese child development is, the Chinese start teaching their children at a very young age. They start teaching their children when the children are small babies. By the age of three, most children in China know their ABCs. The play a lot of classical music for the children. It has been proven that if a child is exposed to classical music at a young age, that that child will have a better chance of concentrating and getting good grades. In America, a child is usually first taught at the toddler stage in life. Children in America know their ABCs at about the age of six. Sadly, classical music is not exposed to children enough in America.
American parents should look at Chinese child development more often. The Chinese are always tending to their children. In the Chinese daycare, an adult attends to one child. Only a few adults attend a class of toddlers in America. The Chinese teach their children at a very young age. Americans teach their children in the toddler stage. Chinese children are more knowledgeable because they are taught at an earlier stage and exposed to classical music. The Chinese child development techniques are wonderful.

We really do need to learn from the Chinese. Their students surpass ours by leaps and bounds. I once heard about the average day of a Chinese student and how much more they are required to do. No wonder why these people are so smart!
Good topic for a blog, elizabeth.

This is an interesting topic. Working in a American daycare center I often marvel at the student-teacher ratios we're allowed (4-1 for infants, 5-1 for one year olds, 6-1 for twos, and 10-1 for threes to fives). As hard as we might try it's impossible to love, care for, and teach that many children as much as they deserve, without anyone falling behind.
While providing one-on-one care would benefit every child and be much easier on the teachers, it would require our country's whole process of raising children to be totally restructured to come even close to that ratio. If you start thinking in terms of daycare centers with 1-1 student-teacher ratios, I also think the question needs to become "What is the purpose of daycare?" In America the purpose is generally to provide care while the parents are working, but most people could afford to quit working as easily if not easier then they could afford paying for one-on-one "professional" care for their child(ren).
As far as teaching children more at a younger age, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand the earlier you start teaching, the more your child will learn before they become an adult, but on the other hand I think children need time to just be kids, and if you push the academic learning too early they'll end up hating it. It's also interesting to note that children who are in daycare at a young age tend to know more by the time they start more formal schooling, then kids who are home with a parent, where at least theoretically they could have more one-on-one learning time.
Some how our country needs to find a balance that meets the needs of both children and their parents, without overworking teachers and daycare workers.
