This study reconfirms the second language acquisition theory that there is a "critical period" in children's language development and cultivation in terms of age and cognition and the advantages of bilingual education. In the Chinese language environment, early childhood English education should adhere to the purpose of communication, take life scenes as the main content, under the guidance of the relevant theories of second language acquisition, complete coverage of basic sentence patterns and phonetic symbols, and select excellent audio-visual materials and textbooks suitable for children's physical and mental development. Only in this way can the process of language acquisition be simulated to the maximum extent and at the minimum cost. Therefore, it is essential that parents and teachers strive to create a highly simulated good English application environment. This case study of English family education model for children has a good enlightenment on English education in Kindergarten and primary school in China.
