Abstract: The present research has probed into the relations between the pre-school education length, the maternal education level and the children's school adjustment, using peer nomination, teachers' reports and parents' reports. 135 elementary school children from Grade 1 participated in the study,and they completed the questionnaires twice during one year.The findings reveal the following: (1) In the first semester, the students whose pre-school education length is longer show more positive social behaviors; (2) The students whose maternal education level is lower show more sensitive withdrawal behaviors and refused peer relationships; (3) If the maternal education level is lower and the pre-school education length is longer, these students show more attacking and offensive behaviors. If the maternal education level is higher and the pre-school education length is longer, these students show less attacking and offensive behaviors. The analysis shows that the maternal education level and the pre-school education length interact to jointly exert an impact on the children's development in the future. And the maternal education level has a stronger impact. Therefore, attention should be paid to improving the quality of kindergarten education and its influence to family education.

Key words: primary school pupils, pre-school education length, school adjustment, maternal education level
