Home-school cooperation is a crucial component of kindergarten education. Effective collaboration between families and schools can promote the healthy development of children, enhance teachers' educational experiences, and help parents establish correct educational perspectives. This study analyzes the current status and issues of home-school cooperation abilities among new teachers in Beijing. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for improving new teachers' effectiveness in home-school cooperation and to address the existing challenges in this area. The research employs a combination of questionnaire surveys and interviews, collecting 185 valid questionnaires and conducting interviews with 6 teachers and 2 parents. The findings indicate that new teachers currently lack professional foundational skills and the ability to interact and cooperate with parents, although they possess good self-improvement abilities. Based on these findings, the study proposes six countermeasures: enhancing new teachers' awareness of home-school cooperation, providing opportunities for home-school collaboration, accumulating experience in home-school cooperation, exploring various approaches and methods for cooperation, emphasizing communication skills in home-school collaboration, and reflecting on the outcomes of home-school cooperation efforts.
