在社會變遷的影響下,社會環境跟著轉變,如全球競爭、國際化、少子化、家庭問題等,因為社會環境的改變,使得教育也受到衝擊。以學前教育而言,大環境影響的結果,幼兒園的生存所受到的衝擊最大,家長又開始重視幼兒園的品質,加上幼托整合,幼兒園的經營管理必須重新統整,並找出適合的經營模式,以達到永續經營。 中國大陸由於政府部門所辦之公辦幼兒園數量,難以滿足其國內學前教育需求,因而開始鼓勵民間辦學,卻導致民辦幼兒園數量急速增長,問題也逐漸開始湧現。本研究因之探究中國大陸民辦幼兒園的經營管理,以文獻分析瞭解中國大陸學前教育發展歷程與民辦學前教育的發展概況,進而探討民辦幼兒園發展所帶來的相關問題,分析民辦幼兒園經營管理的因應策略,並加以評論與建議。 研究結果發現:民辦幼兒園逐漸成為中國大陸的主要辦園模式,其特色包含園所創立獨特的經營模式、課程與教學創新且多元、園所環境設備符合幼兒使用、鼓勵教師參與進修及培訓、建立與家長溝通的良好管道。民辦幼兒園所面臨的問題,因城鄉差異甚大,導致政府管理程度普遍較低;財政經費投入比例偏低,機制不完善;園所管理制度不健全;師資的福利待遇未完全平等,專業程度較低;課程與教學受家長的要求、園所經濟利益及教師專業程度影響。而民辦幼兒園未來發展趨勢,將受政府的重視、入學年齡下降、民辦園成為辦園主體且趨多樣化、教師品質提升、課程趨向多元且自主化。
