This paper describes the evolution of an action research taken by a university teacher mother at a private preschool in Taiwan. In September 1999, the teacher mother sent her daughter to a private preschool and, since then, she found many problems regarding curriculum, art teacher education and preschool education. Through continued participation observation as a mother, a volunteer art teacher and an art curriculum advisor, this mother has taken actions to puzzle out questions regarding art curriculum. During the process of actions, the teacher mother faced the challenges of playing multiple roles in the preschool. This is a self-reflection and self-report story regarding the art curriculum reform which has happened in a private preschool from September 1999 to December 2000. This story tells the poor environment of art education in the private preschool, the challenges and limitations during curriculum reform and the team work among parent, administrator and teachers in a preschool.This is a real story about a parent of a preschool tried to improve preschool art curriculum. Based on professional methodology training and knowledge, the teacher mother tried to link curriculum theory and practice; however, under the limitation of human resources, she was forced to change action plans and adjust curriculum strategy. The action research has developed dramatically. Under the support of the principal, the participation of art teachers and the involvement of a enthusiastic parent, a series of actions of art curriculum reform at the private preschool have been taken. Children's education needs the collaboration between parents and teachers. In this story, the preschool art curriculum has evolved from continued actions promoted by the teacher mother.
