Abstract Objective To establish the early childhood development bases in Pudong New Area to support the promotion of early childhood development work. Methods In 2019 , 4 hospitals in Pudong New Area adopted the “1 + 4 +X+Y”model to build early childhood development bases. The hospitals provided integrated early childhood development services, including early monitoring, screening, promoting appropriate technologies, and conducting health education. Results Through the establishment of these bases, the professional skills and service capabilities of community child health care workers were improved. The systematic management rate of children under 3 years old exceeded that of the control center, and the detection rates of malnutrition and anemia in children under 5 years old were lower than those in the control center. The acceptance of concepts of early childhood development was higher in the caregivers compared with before. Conclusion The establishment of early childhood development bases based on the Pudong model can extend parenting and caregiving practices to the community, reduce the risk of children’s growth and development disorders, and enhance the parenting philosophy of caregivers. This model is worth promotion in other regions.
