This article presents a quantitative visual analysis of 500 research papers on joint home-kindergarten education from the CNKI, utilizing the CiteSpace software. The results indicate that research on joint home-kindergarten education has undergone a period of preliminary exploration marked by cooperative strategies and approaches, followed by a period of idea-resource integration that focused on promoting children’s development. At present, the collaboration between authors and institutions in the research on joint home-kindergarten education is inadequate, and research organizations are yet to establish closely-knit teams for cooperation. The research primarily focuses on the object, content, and dilemma of joint home-kindergarten education, along with the corresponding approach to it. It is anticipated that China will intensify its investigation into joint home-kindergarten education through the provision of greater resources to research teams at an organizational level, and through the clarification of the underlying concept at a content level.
