Along with accumulations of researches relevant to education and care for 0~ 3 years infants, people have a better understanding of various benefits in this field, and many countries in the world begins to focus on that. But the condition in China is that various centers for infants gradually spring up and many families need professional support for fostering infants urgently, but the researches are less. In order to obtain the information on quality of centers in Nanjing city, and provide a thorough policy information also, We selected two parents-infant centers of kindergartens and two private ones as samples and adopted the methods of observation and interview to study the running factors and process of centers, which includes the investment and register, environment, curriculums, teachers, income and expenditure. Moreover we probed status of supervision of Nanjing government and then pointed out the problems in the conditions above.Through the study, we found that, firstly, according to the investment and register, the centers for infants can be divided into two kinds, one is the center invested by private person and registered in business department as well as the other is that invested by kindergarten and registered in education department but still many small private centers haven't yet registered at present. Secondly, there is a big difference of environment between public centers and private centers but the latter are more similar, moreover the environment does not express regional design, playthings does not adapt well to infants and are not often used. Thirdly, the curriculums of the two types of centers divide the stages by months, but they do not have universal standard. The curriculums contain dual objectives to infants and parents, and they are definitely and fine, furthermore that takes "children as center " as value orientation. And curriculum contents are all organized comprehensively according to infants' logic of psychology. Forthly, two types of centers both bring curriculums into effect with some taches and certain process but that is numerous, furthermore the form of all curriculums is none day-care but a form of holding activities once or twice a week, therefore the intensity of curriculum is weaker. Fifthly, some private centers use systematic and structural curriculums but implementation is too rigidified that resulted in no more innovation of curriculums, on the contrary other private centers have no systematic and specialized curriculums. Moreover, some teachers in public centers often design curriculums before class temporarily, but no fixed curriculum texts and only involve in parts of that. In addition, curriculums of all centers still express the lack of plays in them. Sixthly, teachers in public centers are mostly kindergarten teachers for 3~6 years children and teachers in private ones are different from that and some of them are no experiences of early childhood education. Moreover only a few teachers have been verified in the field of infant education and care in all centers and public centers' are more. And private teachers must experienced inner training before working. Furthermore , all teachers haven' t acquired systemic knowledge about infants development, so that they have no enough confidence in curriculum design and teaching. So we have to suspect the quality of teacher training. Seventhly, the lesson fee of public centers a main income source and because they can share education resources with kindergarten and expenditure is less. But private center still have other various of incomes and it costs more. Moreover, the fee standard of private centers is rational, proportions of proceeds and education development fund of investors are illegal. Eighthly, all centers must follow dual rules of education and business and have same running process which includes arrangement, implementation and improvement these three steps. Ninthly, officers in Nanjing government have known the importance of economic condition for promoting development of this field, but has no enough funds as for the stage of 0~3 years, and the sectors of government are no more inter communication with each other and no united political document of supervision for developing infant education and care. Moreover currently government only hold the experiment centers and develop related researches of this field. At last, we provide some suggestions for the problems above with reference to the research achievements at home or abroad .which involve in equipment of playthings, layout of environment, contents of curriculum and its standard of stages by months , the quality of teacher training before or after working, teacher' knowledge of infant development, supervision of government etc..All in all, the running models for parents-infant centers can be macroscopically divided into two styles in Nanjing city, the public model and private one, and the former is that kindergarten invested and registered in education Department, the other is that private person invested and registered in business Department. But microcosmicly, it can also be said that currently the running models of these centers in Nanjing City are different from each other, and have no universal model, only have some similarities to some degree because the running factors among all centers have a big difference.
