摘　　要：在教育活动中存在着很多机会成本问题，而且机会成本可能比直接成本要大得多。对经济困难的城市低保家庭而言，学前教育个人机会成本可能是影响幼儿入园的一个重要因素。本文从理论和实践两个层面对学前教育个人机会成本进行分析，从投资收益成本、家长和幼儿的间接损失成本角度，结合调研数据，计算出江苏省三城市低保家庭的学前教育个人机会成本平均值。从研究结果看，低保家庭要为幼儿入园承受巨大的经济压力。不过，从投资回报率的角度看，学前教育的投资回报率是很高的。建议政府制订相应经济补偿政策，以减轻贫困家庭经济负担，提高处境不利儿童入园率。There are many opportunity cost problems in education activities, and opportunity cost may be much more than direct costs. For those families in the minimal living guarantee, opportunity cost in preschool education could be a significant factor influencing parents＇ decision whether they are going to send their children to kindergartens. This paper, from the perspectives of theory and practice, analyzes personal opportunity cost in preschool education in aspects of investment cost, parents and children＇s indirect loss cost, and obtains the mean of personal opportunity cost in preschool education of the families in the minimal living guarantee of 3 cities in Jiangsu. The results of the research indicate that although personal opportunity cost in preschool education is high, the return on investment is also high. Governments should formulate economic compensation policy to ease the financial pressure of families in difficulties so that the rate of enrollment into kindergartens would be raised.
