With the change of family structure, the demand for childcare has increased, and community embedded childcare service has obvious advantages but faces difficulties. China's community-based elderly care service has achieved remarkable results, and it is experienced in supply mode, content quality, resource integration and service innovation. Community-embedded childcare can be learnt from community elderly care, including the demand-oriented service concept, the transformation of service facilities suitable for young children, the mode of service personnel combining professionals and volunteers, the way of integrating resources by multiple main bodies, and the intelligent equipment to enhance the service level. Drawing on the experience of community-based elderly care services will help community-based embedded childcare services to resolve development dilemmas, improve service quality and achieve sustainable development.
