%X The preschool period is critical for gender equality education. Through analyzing the results of the questionnaires on gender equality awareness and gender equality education answered by 492 preschool teachers from 18 kindergartens, this study is aimed at having a basic understanding of the status&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">quo of the educational environment in kindergartens for gender equalit</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">y. Additionally, the questionnaires on preschoolersĄŻ gender role behaviors were answered by 3712 parents to understand the status quo and characteristics of preschool childrenĄŻs gender-role development. On this basis, the relationship between the educational environment in kindergartens for gender equality and preschoolersĄŻ gender-role development was illuminated. The study found that: preschool teachersĄŻ awareness of gender equality was in the middle to upper level overall and there were age differences. The overall performance of&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">gender equality education in kindergartens was good, and the aspects o</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">f gender integration and promotion need to be improved. Preschool teachersĄŻ e</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">ducation and gender equality awareness significantly and positively p</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">redicted the level of kindergarten gender equality education. There are gender di</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">fferences in the distribution of different gender roles among prescho</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">ol children, and gender roles are in constant development. Therefore, it is reco</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">mmended that kindergartens create a gender-equal environment, dee</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;white-space:normal;\">pen the promotion of gender equality in society, highlight gender-equal education topics in family education guidance, support teachersĄŻ learning and development, and provide systematic post-service training for preschool teachers on gender equality education.
