Vivian Paley is an American pre-school and kindergarten teacher and early childhood education researcher. This study is based on her published works. It was to analyze the spiritual meaning of the teaching, and it applied content analysis as the research method. The main meaning of spirituality include: self-insight, intrinsic motivation, connection and affiliation, moral beliefs and actions, awe and respect for the natural environment, love for the natural environment, and search for holiness, which as content analysis codes. The content analysis results demonstrate that: the storytelling and acting of teaching is to guide the individual's mirror and power. And it as a community of the attribution and model, the performance of the relevance and common good between human and nature. The storytelling and acting of teaching revealed Perry's idea of transcendence. This article is suggested that teachers should pay more attention to children's storytelling and acting, provide children with the space to tell real or imaginative stories in visual or embodied ways. That can help children understand themselves and develop social relationships, and teachers can also understand children and themselves through stories, and reflect on their teachers' roles and the goal of teaching.
