Abstract

The integration of red culture into early childhood education constitutes an important pathway for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education. It helps lay a solid foundation for moral development while cultivating children’s sense of national identity and cultural confidence. Taking G Kindergarten as a case study, this study explores the value and guiding principles of incorporating red culture resources into kindergarten curricula. Based on practical exploration, several approaches are proposed, including the construction of a kindergarten-based “Five Harmonies” red curriculum system, the creation of an immersive red cultural educational environment, the development of a high-quality teaching team for red education, and the implementation of gamified and life-oriented red cultural practices. These approaches aim to promote the organic integration of red culture inheritance with the holistic development of young children.
