Education can be viewed as a lifelong learning process which is planned and organized. Constructivist theory states that every person develop through a series of levels that must be taken, but childhood can help students to prepare and get new understanding through activities and social interactions. This method gives the teachers views about learning readiness. Once they understand how a kid knows the world, so they can plan the experience in order to deepen and strengthen their knowledge. Children who learn are not only imitated or reflected with the taught or what he read, but also to create understanding. When children interact with their environment, they build schemes variety, arrangements or patterns. This is the basis for more complex structures in the development of the mental activity. the implications of the theory of constructivism in early childhood education are as follows: (1) the purpose of education according to the theory of constructivism learning is to produce individuals or children who have ability to think or solve any problems, (2) curriculum is designed in a situation that enabling knowledge and skills can be constructed by learners. In addition, training is often done through a problem solving group to analyze problems in their life, and (3) the learners are always expected to be active and can find a way of learning better

The most enjoyable experiences that I have had with young children are those that occur outdoors. Taking children on walks in the woods, at our local park, or simply around the school yard can prompt many discoveries about the natural world. As we walk, children gain knowledge and skills by using their senses to collect information about the world around them. Traditionally, we think of providing these experiences as part of children's scientific learning. However, direct observation is also an important piece of mathematical learning that is essential for identifying patterns, promoting problem solving, and developing spatial sense and reasoning.

The low ability of problem solving in children requires stimulation efforts in early childhood education, one of which is through the management of the maximum play environment that educators can do in optimizing problem solving abilities in children.  The problem in this study is about the implementation of learning with a play environment that raises problem solving abilities in children aged 5-6 years.  This research was conducted at the Center of Excellence Paud Taman Belia Candi, Semarang City.  This type of research is qualitative research in descriptive form.  Researchers use a naturalist approach, namely the presence of researchers directly in the field.  This study discusses the analysis of indoor play environment that supports problem solving abilities in children aged 5-6 years.  The results showed that the problem-solving ability of children aged 5-6 years could be improved through structuring the play environment in such a way as that at the Center of Excellence PAUD Taman Belia Candi Semarang.  In order for children to achieve maximum development in the aspects of cognitive development in the scope of problem solving development, it is necessary to organize an environment that stimulates or invites children (inviting classroom), facilitates multi-sensory children and provides opportunities for activities for children.  Based on the results of this study, the suggestion that can be conveyed is that in each learning process, the teacher can add knowledge and skills in arranging the indoor learning environment through various sources so that the center room is arranged in an optimal state for the learning process.

If we are committed to the health and development of children, we need to recognize that the vast majority of the world's women are working women. In Africa, 80% of the women are actively engaged in economic activities outside the home. The "economic miracle" in Southeast Asia was made possible by the nimble fingers of thousands of women working in textile and electronics factories. There is need for pre-day-care advocacy for infants, through promotion of breast feeding and maternity leave. When the mother returns to work, the standard of the International Labor Organization should be applied, namely "...the care of children while the parents are working cannot be ignored because it forms a focal point on which three main concerns of development policy—work, health, and education—converge." Several principles emerged from the presentations in the international panel: 1. Child-care programs must be community based, using the resources of the families and the community organizations themselves. 2. Programs require the active involvement of the communities, women's groups, and other partners. 3. Programs are modified by innovations created by community organizations, universities, and other groups. 4. Programs require the mobilization of trained young men and women into the field of early childhood education and development. This international panel provided an overall uniting theme, that throughout the world the hope for the survival and better life for children unites parents of every country and every creed. This is one of the most powerful and strongest motivational resources in the world. We need to recognize the power of this hope and address that hope, providing with a certain degree of humility that there exist no single model, and no single country has all the answers. By respecting the ideas of the many innovations and different approaches of women, parents, and families, we can find the answers. There is a clear need for national networks as well as for international networks, exchanges of information, sharing of experience, and mobilization of the social resources in advocating early childhood education and development for the world's children.

The article is based on a project intended to further develop understanding of similarities and differences in Nordic binding guidelines and non-binding guidance for content and quality in early childhood education. The study is of a descriptive and comparative nature and the process is based on a research tradition connected to curriculum studies. Both variation and standardisation emerge in the comparative analysis with regard to content construction. Quality is expressed and may be interpreted as operationalised as both structure and process. In relation to the study results, quality may be interpreted as primarily oriented towards institutions, activities and secondarily towards individuals. Quality is consistently related to learning (lifelong learning) and is more linear and oriented towards goal-rationality than non-linear.

Lifelong learning is the continuous acquisition of knowledge and skills which occurs throughout life with an emphasis on the full development of personality. Despite the increasing interest of Vietnamese policy makers in promoting lifelong learning, the implementation of lifelong learning at universities is still limited. This research delineated and critiqued the policies and the current practices of lifelong learning at the college level of the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam (MOET) under the perspective of critical theory. From the discussion of the policies and practices that the MOET was implementing, recommendations for the policy makers were made with the aim of helping Vietnamese students embrace their right to lifelong learning and fulfill the personal and democratic purpose of education.

In Finland, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) includes day care arrangements offered to families (care) along with goal-oriented early childhood education (early education and teaching) provided for children prior to transitioning to primary education. ECEC is therefore seen to build a coherent starting phase within the continuum of lifelong learning. ECEC follows the “educare” principle, which emphasizes the simultaneous consideration for children’s education, teaching, and care as the foundation of pedagogical activity, which is at the same time strongly rooted in the idea of learning and development as a holistic experience. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the Finnish ECEC system, introduce its societal, organizational and curricular preconditions and discuss the current tensions and challenges faced.
