The objectives to be achieved in this study are to analyze (1) descriptive results of accreditation throughout Depok's early childhood education centers in 2018; (2) the results of the distribution of accreditation throughout Depok's early childhood education centers in 11 districts; (3) the results of accreditation based on the length of the school's establishment, land area, and accreditation experience in each kindergarten program. This study uses a mix method research approach with critical analysis methods and library methods, so as to present quantitative data simply and describe it in qualitative data. The findings are as follows: (1) The number of accredited institutions is still dominated by early childhood education centers with TK programs, namely 97 institutions out of 186 institutions that participate in accreditation or as much as 52% of the total early childhood education centers that participate in accreditation; (2) There is an inequality in the number of accredited institutions in 11 districts in Depok; and (3) High and low accreditation scores do not always relate to the length of standing, land area and experience of institutions in implementing accreditation.

Every early childhood education institution allocates considerable attention to nurturance of national traditions and values of spiritual culture and organises traditional events, festivals, projects and other events every year. Calendar and national festivals are also celebrated. The goal of the research was to reveal and analyse the experiences of children, teachers and other adults that they go or went through during the festivals organised in early childhood education institutions.The research methods: scholarly literature analysis, its systemisation and generalisation; narrative research employing a semi-structured interview with adults and teachers and an interview with children; narrative qualitative data analysis. The narrative research included 10 participants: 4 teachers, 3 early age children and 3 adults, who attended early childhood education institutions in their childhood.The research data show that similar aspects are found in the narrations of all participants, which can be grouped into five main themes of narrations: emotions, impressions, teacher support, cultural experience and parents’ participation. The analysis of experiences obtained by the participants in the research allows stating that festivals in early childhood education institutions are usually only performances for parents. This causes both positive and negative emotions of research participants. The participants in the research remember not only the experienced emotions but also the first impressions, which are evoked by a certain surprise, new experience or an exceptional occurrence. The article also discusses the parents’ role in the kindergarten festivals, teacher’s activities and analyses cultural experience, which is acquired by early age children during such festivals.

Robotics is a very promising tool and a highly innovative field that brings a new dimension in educational settings. Educational robotics is recognized as a valuable means for cultivating 21st-century skills, having the potential to promote learning, cognitive and social development, and preschoolers' engagement with STEM topics in a playful way. Nevertheless, the absence of a well-articulated pedagogy of teaching robotics and with robotics impacts the clarity of its guidelines, scope, and objectives. There is a lack of frameworks for teaching robotics in early childhood education, especially one that includes objectives and teaching methods in a balanced way. This is the challenge that the current chapter aims to address: to outline the initial orientations of a framework that includes educational robotics objectives and appropriate teaching methods for early childhood education.
