Its activities include the Bookstart reading program, the Hsin-Yi Children's Literature Award, a personalized parenting newsletter, and the Hsin-Yi Parent-Child Center, which in 2016 expanded into the 'Hao Hao Sheng Huo Guang Chang' composite parent-child living space. Its milestones include the 1977 establishment of a preschool education research and development center, the 1978 founding of Hsin-Yi Foundation Publishing House, and the 1981 opening of 'Le Le Yuan' in founder He Chuan's hometown of Anping, Tainan.

According to the foundation's own milestone timeline, Hsin-Yi established the 'Preschool Education Research and Development Center' in 1977, calling on society to value early childhood education. In 1978 it founded 'Hsin-Yi Foundation Publishing House,' described as Taiwan's first professional early-childhood publisher, publishing original picture books for young children. In 1981 it opened 'Le Le Yuan' in founder He Chuan's hometown of Anping, Tainan, described as the prototype of domestic parent-child centers and Hsin-Yi's first physical service and parent-child play demonstration space. In 1986 it advocated a child-centered 'discovery learning' educational view, publishing teaching resources on moving from discovery learning toward integrated teaching. The foundation also notes that its Hsin-Yi Parent-Child Center has operated for nearly 40 years and accompanied over one million parent-child pairs, and that in 2016 it expanded into the 'Hao Hao Sheng Huo Guang Chang' composite parent-child living space. It further states that its Bookstart reading program has been joined annually by over 100 public libraries and has been promoted for nearly 20 years, that the Hsin-Yi Children's Literature Award has run for 36 years with 8,704 entries and over 170 awards given, and that its age-graded parenting newsletter has accompanied over 400,000 families.

A bridge between parents and children, and between professional knowledge and practice in parenting and early-childhood education.
