Abstract Entering the nearby kindergarten is the important content in preschool education planning and give the research on spatial accessibility to kindergarten. This paper is concerning on the spatial accessibility to kindergarten by using two access measures including the popular two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method and variable catchment sizes for two-step floating catchment area method (V2SFCA), thus to capture the interaction between kindergarten and settlement,then to compare the results of the two methods and get a integrative estimate of spatial distribution of preschool educational resources in Fuzhou central urban area. The results indicated that the overall accessibility of Fuzhou City's kindergarten distribution is not ideal, and only a minority of the region, a small number of people can get a good kindergarten accessibility. As for the geographical space of kindergarten accessibility, the west region is much better than the east region, and north slightly better than the south, demonstrating a polycentric structure at the same time. The high accessibility areas are mainly distributed in the center of the city and scattered around the city.
