Illegal, dirty kindergartens dominate Beiqijia town

A lack of hygiene and safety standards at almost 60 illegal private kindergartens is worrying parents and teachers in Changping district.

The privately run kindergartens in Beiqijia town lack official accreditation from the Changping district commission of education but care for nearly 3,000 children. There are no public kindergartens in the town.

Wang Nan, a staff employee at the residents' committee of Mingjia Garden community, said there are five private kindergartens in her community and all have hygiene problems.
