The professional development of college and university teachers in preschool education is simply the development of teaching. It is determined by the fundamental function of universities and teachers, which is to cultivate talents. It is also determined by the faith environment and living environment faced by teachers in preschool education. In the field of preschool education, we should implement the concept of teacher education and guide future teachers to participate in and study the reform of elementary education. We should also guide the future teachers to discover and solve practical problems, innovate teaching models thus forming their individual teaching styles and practice wisdom. In the past few decades, high-quality graduates in preschool education have long been cultivated by normal universities and teachers colleges with a long history of providing undergraduate program in preschool education.However, the current demand for preschool teachers is extremely high. In order to maintain the quality of preschool teacher preparation, team building and renewing of college and university teachers in preschool education is an important issue. College and university teachers should have the pursuit of education, which requires changing their identity from man of teaching to teacher researchers, changing their attitude from being passive to being proactive, from being tired of teaching to being joyful of teaching.
