With China’s socio-economic development and the implementation of the three-child policy in recent years, infant care services have become a hot topic. However, currently, there are only over 4,000 registered infant care institutions in China, far from meeting market demand. According to statistical data, there are about 14 million infants in need of care services nationwide, and the phenomenon of supply failing to meet demand has led to a huge market demand that cannot be met. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the scope of higher vocational talent training, regarding care and preschool education as two key areas. Corresponding majors should be established, recognizing the comprehensiveness of knowledge encompassing pre-school education, medicine and health, and public services to cultivate talents, and improving the quality of teaching. In view of this, this paper explores the cultivation path of higher vocational talents in the context of the integrated infant and preschool care industry, hoping to provide more references for frontline educators.
