Classroom walkthrough is a form of instructional supervision that supports quality enhancement. The current study developed and validated a measure of classroom walkthrough in the early childhood education (ECE) setting in China. Results indicated that the Chinese Preschool Classroom Walkthrough Scale (CPCWS) included five domains, namely, the content of classroom walkthrough, pedagogical skills, professional growth, culture of community, and challenges. The CPCWS showed good model fit and demonstrated concurrent validity by correlating with teacher burnout, well-being and teaching efficacy. These findings also shed light on the current state of classroom walkthrough practices in China and advocate for further development and use of the CPCWS to improve preschool quality. The study underscores the necessity for additional research on classroom walkthrough in ECE settings
