A large number of studies have proved that father's participation is important to the healthy growth of children. However, the relevant survey shows that the phenomenon of"father absence"is widespread in our country at present, which is not conducive to the development of young children, and will have a negative impact on the quality of human resources and national competitiveness as well. Based on the introduction of the current situation of father involvement in child rearing in China and the US, the comparison shows that the amount of time and participation patterns of Chinese fathers are obviously insufficient. And drawing lessons from the experience of the US, this study summs up that China should starts from the legislation, policy, educa⁃tion institutions, communities and families, etc., to promote fathers’participation in early childhood education.%大量研究证明，父亲参与对幼儿健康成长具有重要价值。然而，相关调查显示，目前我国“父亲缺失”的现象普遍存在。这既不利于幼儿发展，也将对我国未来人力资源质量和国家竞争力产生不利影响。比较分析中美父亲参与幼儿教养的现状发现，我国父亲在参与时间量和参与方式上都存在明显不足。美国经验启示我国应从立法、政策、教育机构、社区和家庭等方面入手，促进父亲参与幼儿教养。
