It opens the rapid development of China’s private preschool period.On the other hand, there has been some phenomenons of "Market economy embedded in education". It means that some preschool institutions no longer take the child or adult learners’development and needs as the starting point and foothold, not exactly concern with improving the quality of education, but pay more close attention to the survival, competition, profit of institutions. The values of the market economy that greatly impact on each individual involved in it.Under the surface of prosperity and chaos with private preschool education, educational beliefs as judging principles to determine all relevant factors of educational process,and guiding role of educational and teaching activities,are facing severe tests.Based on the background of above social development,this study adopts case study, through interview, observation and object analysis, put study subjects’educational beliefs into the interaction of socio-economic,cultural environment and personal life experiences to analysis.
