The digital technology era has entered the post-intelligent phase, where generative artificial intelligence has rapidly emerged and penetrated early childhood education. However, its application potential in kindergarten teaching scenarios remains under-explored. DeepSeek demonstrates significant advantages in convenience, responsiveness, and integration capabilities, providing a powerful platform for cultivating top-tier young learners, dismantling barriers between knowledge systems, and revolutionizing early childhood teaching methodologies. The integration of generative AI with preschool education can be applied across multiple scenarios including intelligent classrooms, multi-dimensional student profiling, and technology-enhanced instruction. Nevertheless, it is crucial to address limitations accompanying educational technology transformations: mitigating ethical and privacy concerns arising from intelligent data systems, overcoming insufficient conceptual understanding and material support for smart devices, and resolving reliability issues caused by technical constraints. Therefore, early childhood educators and administrators should proactively adapt to contemporary developments by constructing new educational paradigms based on children's needs and developmental characteristics. A balanced approach is essential to harness the "double-edged sword" of technology - strategically utilizing its conveniences and advantages while avoiding potential drawbacks, thereby advancing the quality of early childhood education.
