With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the integration of artificial intelligence and early childhood education is becoming more and more extensive. This article mainly examines the implementation of early childhood artificial intelligence education in China, paying special attention to the value of early childhood artificial intelligence education in promoting the all-round development of young children, transforming education and teaching, and promoting the high-quality development of preschool education. As well as many new challenges such as the integration of AI technology and early childhood education brought by artificial intelligence for children, the transformation of the role of teachers, the imbalance of artificial intelligence education resources, social ethics, privacy and security issues. According to the existing problems, this study provides some suggestions from the aspects of technical support, teaching reform, policy support, etc., in order to help the development of early childhood artificial intelligence education in China. Of course, this study mainly analyzes the problem from the perspective of qualitative research, and further qualitative research is needed to carry out in-depth investigation.
