Abstract: 
The thesis takes the three kindergartens in Pingtung City of Taiwan Province and Ningde City of Fujian Province as research subjects. On the basis of the field trip thoroughly, questionnaire study and interview method are applied to compare the differences of comprehension, educational objective, content, and methods in sex education between Fujian and Taiwan kindergartens. Affected by the traditional thinking, teachers in Fujian kindergartens not only lacks sex education training but also have limited teaching ability to sex education. From the experience of Taiwanese kindergartens, teachers in Fujian kindergartens could learn that the sex education training enhancement and workshops and the improvement in goals, contents, and methods of sex education are important approaches to raise the quality of sexual education in Fujian kindergartens.
