Abstract
The study adopts the self-made questionnaire of 0 - 3-year-old children’s demand for child care, investigating 6564 families with 0 - 3-year-old children in G province by means of cluster probability sampling. The survey shows that most parents’ willingness to care is not strong, and the acceptable monthly cost of care is mainly within 2000 Yuan. The main reason for choosing care is to let children receive professional care and education. The main reasons for not choosing nursery are that families can take care of themselves; parents are most concerned about the safety of nursery institutions and the professionalism of the staff; they prefer to choose public nursery institutions. Therefore, we should actively construct a multi-level and multi-level care service system to better meet the demand of care services of 0 - 3-year-old infants.

Summary
The study adopts the self-made questionnaire of 0 - 3-year-old children’s demand for child care, investigating 6564 families with 0 - 3-year-old children in G province by means of cluster probability sampling. Some experts pointed out that “the demand for childcare for infants and young children aged 0 to 3 years will gradually increase, and they strongly appeal to all sectors of society to actively participate in building a scientific childcare service system” (The Central Committee of the China Association for the Promotion of Democracy, 2018). Judging from the experience of infant and child care services in developed countries, the main model is that infants and young children aged 0 to 3 are given care by professional nursery institutions. It is urgent to vigorously develop the childcare service system for infants and young children aged 0 - 3, meet the needs of family childcare services, and balance the relationship between social work and family infant and child care.
