Abstract: Specialization of childcare services is the process of bringing childcare services into a standardized and regulated development track；it achieves monopoly and control over the quality standards of childcare services through consolidating professional barriers，establishing professional organizations，and strengthening professional discourse. This not only provides a basis for the introduction of market access standards and the management of full process standardization of childcare institutions，but also injects vitality and momentum into the healthy development of childcare services in China in the coming period. Due to various reasons from both the host and the guest，there are many practical difficulties in the professional development of childcare services in China at present，such as low social recognition，weak recognition of effectiveness，insufficient standardization，limited openness，insufficient autonomy，and lack of solid basic knowledge.
