In order to understand the current situation of STEM integration and education for young children, this paper uses the methods of literature and questionnaire to investigate pre-k teachers' understanding, attitude and action, and educational practice on STEM education. The results show that pre-k teachers generally do not have a high understanding of STEM education, but they are full of expectation for the implementation of STEM education in the future. Through an in-depth analysis of the problems and difficulties existing in the STEM education for young children, the aim of this paper is to provide scientific basis for the formulation of STEM education policies for young children, teacher training and the solution of related problems.
