The present biology for kindergarten teachers was compiled in 1998 and published in 1999, which made a great progress comparing to old ones. After its publishing, it was well received and it was popular with both teachers and students. But course reforms in fundamental education has developed rather fast in recent years, so its course system, structure and content have been adapted accordingly, that is —new fundamental course system has been set up for quality-oriented education.
