The ＇San＇ is one of the oldest ethnic groups in the land of Africa. The San preschool educators value their mother language teaching and the development of indigenous textbooks to inherit its traditional culture. The preschool education of the San in Namibia has clearly achieved some progress. However, there are still some challenges, such as the teacher training, development of the indigenous language materials, and so on. The development of the preschool education of the San in Namibia provides some enlightenment for the preschool education of the ethnic minorities in China such as increasing the favorable policies, improving the parents＇ understanding of the importance of preschool education, and compiling kindergarten teaching materials which reflect the cultural tradition of the ethnic minorities.
