Professional key competences comprise the necessary personality traits and action competences that meet the requirements of work. For kindergarten, they are an important reference for selecting and training teachers. This study uses the paradigm of qualitative research and is based on job analysis and the semi-structured interview method. Researchers conducted 37 semi-structured interviews with 29 kindergarten teachers from different provinces in China. A three-level professional key competence model of kindergarten teachers is preliminarily constructed. The inner layer of the model is the core professional values of kindergarten teachers, the middle layer comprises the four core personality traits of kindergarten teachers, and the outer layer comprises the nine key action competences of kindergarten teachers. The results of this study have important reference value for the training of kindergarten teachers and for the team building of teaching staff.
