With the continuous deepening of the reform of preschool education curriculums, some high-quality preschool curriculums stand out. The Piramide curriculum in the Netherlands and the Mind of the Tools curriculum in the United States are two high-profile preschool education curriculums. Although these two curriculums are widely used, their differences and similarities must be further studied. This study explores the similarities and differences between the Piramide and Tools of the Mind curriculums. It was found that the two curriculums have similarities in curriculum theory, teaching form, and teaching strategy. There are differences in curriculum theory, teaching process, curriculum objectives, curriculum evaluation, and home education. This study provides a new reference for developing the Chinese preschool curriculum through the comparative study of these two kinds of curriculum.
