Home-kindergarten co-education represents a vital approach to implementing the "Quality Early Childhood Education" policy; however, its effectiveness is significantly hindered by the predominantly unidirectional nature of communication. This study, conducted at No.1 Kindergarten of Jinshui District, Zhengzhou City, systematically identifies current challenges in home-kindergarten communication—characterized by a dominance of notifications, lack of feedback, superficial content, and limited communication formats—through the administration of 239 questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The causes of these issues are analyzed across four dimensions: conceptual understanding, communication mechanisms, stakeholder capabilities, and needs. Drawing on a six-month pilot intervention, the study proposes strategies to establish a bidirectional collaborative communication system encompassing mechanism development, format innovation, content enrichment, and empowerment of participants. Empirical data indicate that following the pilot, the proportion of parents providing proactive feedback increased from 11% to 48%, while satisfaction with co-education improved from 52% to 89%. This research offers a practical framework for kindergartens to transcend the limitations of unidirectional communication and advance high-quality home-kindergarten co-education.
