Objective To provide reference for the early childhood education and development related work in the future by investigating the status of parent cognitive level of early childhood education and care (ECEC). Methods Totally 586 parents of infants born from March 1st 2010 to March 1st 2013 were cluster sampled as subjects from Changqiao,Kangjian and Tianping Street in Xuhui district,Shanghai.The data were collected by designed questionnaire on parents' knowledge,attitudes and behaviors by trained investigators and the related factors were explored by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results The mean ECEC score was 63.7±12.9.After multivariate logistic regression analysis,the parenting score could reach a higher level with the improved maternal education level (OR=1.66,95%CI:1.35`2.04)and with higher family income(OR=1.28,95%CI:1.02~1.61).Compared to less than 1 year old infants,the older infants' parenting scores were higher.The passing proportion was higher in the families spending more time with babies contrasting to the parents whose spare time busy with work (OR=1.96,95%CI:1.20~3.21). Conclusions As eligible parents they should improve their parenting knowledge and behavior awareness for the healthy growth and development of their children.
