If she had not conducted field research in Pingtan county — an island group off the coast of Fujian province — Ho Pe-sun from Taiwan wouldn't have started her career of developing early education in the county.

Influenced by her parents, who have been working in the field of preschool education, Ho developed great interest.

She received a doctorate in special education from Changhua University of Education in Taiwan and is a member of the preschool education society of Taichung, Taiwan.

Ho and her husband conducted field research in Pingtan, where they visited kindergartens and talked to a lot of people in 2018. Through their work, they discovered there was great potential to develop early education there. The couple decided to open a school for children up to age 3.
