Drama education was introduced to Chinese Early Childhood Education in the period between 2000 and 2010. Especially, in the past few years, it has grown enormously and attracted the Chinese Ministry of Education and scholars' interests. However, previous studies have mostly focused on the use of drama education and the current situation but rarely looked into the professional development of kindergarten teachers in this new pedagogy. So, this research concentrates on presenting the current situation and challenges of Chinese kindergarten teachers' professional development in drama education. Some suggestions are also provided for future attempts.
