Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Serta Implementasinya dalam Pendidikan Formal dan Informal
Abstract: Every child is born
holy in nature. Therefore, whether he/ she is bad or good in the future is on
parents’ hand. Early childhood is a critical phase in human development
throughout life span. How parents treat and develop their children will
determine how they will be in their adulthood. If parents use effective and
good ways in maturing and nurturing their children, they will grow well. Yet,
in contrary, if parents do not do so or fail in nurturing their children, they
will grow immature. In this issue, early childhood education takes an important
role in children development. This paper will discuss early childhood education
and how to apply it in a formal (i.e. playgroups), as well as in an informal
(i.e. home parenting) education. Several theories and practices are presented
in this current paper. In sum, this article found that formal early childhood
education cannot stand alone without significant support from the informal one.
Both formal and informal early childhood education should run together in a
mutual practices and frameworks.
