The quality of early childhood education and care fundamentally depends on teachers’ wise practice. However, the environments in which that education and care occur can influence, inform, and shape teachers’ practice, and children’s and families’ experiences. This article draws on a written “portrait” of the learning environment created at one New Zealand early childhood education (ECE) centre, capturing both physical and non-physical aspects of the environment and highlighting the affordances the environment offered to children and families/whānau. A Reggio Emilia lens is used to inform analysis of the learning environment and the associated affordances. The portrait (McChesney, 2020) and this article may support practitioners by providing a vision of what can be in terms of early childhood learning environments, and by providing a possible framework for self-review and inquiry.

Abstract The problem that arises in Cibitung Tengah Village is the lack of educators working in this village. Most of these educators were not coming from early childhood education background. The limited access to the information had caused ECE teachers and tutors to not understand the 2013 ECE curriculum. Limited knowledge about the 2013 ECE curriculum had an impact on the lack of knowledge of teachers and tutors in making learning devices. Learning devices consist of RPPH, media, evaluation and learning assessment and must be made by the educators before conducting and starting learning activities. Learning devices were an important component in organizing learning activities. This aimed to improve the quality of education which is the goal of this nation. The solution was training and awareness and dissemination of THE 2013 ECE curriculum. In addition, improving the quality of ECE teachers and tutors in making learning devices can be improved. The target to be achieved through the Community Service Activities was an increase in the knowledge of ECE teachers and tutors regarding the 2013 ECE curriculum and also how to make the right learning devices for early childhood learning activities. Abstrak Permasalahan yang muncul di Desa Cibitung Tengah ini adalah minimnya tenaga pendidik yang bertugas di Desa ini. Sebagian besar tenaga pendidik ini bukanlah berlatar belakang tentang pendidikan anak usia dini. Keterbatasan akses informasi menyebabkan guru dan tutor PAUD belum memahami mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013. Keterbatasan pengetahuan mengenai kurikulum PAUD 2013 berdampak pada minimnya pengetahuan guru dan tutor dalam membuat perangkat pembelajaran. Perangkat pembelajaran terdiri dari RPPH, media, evaluasi dan asesmen pembelajaran harus dibuat oleh tenaga pendidik sebelum melakukan dan memulai kegiatan pembelajaran. Perangkat pembelajaran adalah komponen penting dalam menyelenggarakan kegiatan pembelajaran. Hal ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan yang merupakan cita-cita bangsa ini. Solusinya adalah pelatihan dan penyadaran serta sosialisasi mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013. Selain itu, peningkatan kualitas guru dan tutor PAUD dalam membuat perangkat pembelajaran dapat ditingkatkan. Target yang ingin dicapai melalui Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini adalah adanya peningkatan pengetahuan guru dan tutor PAUD mengenai kurikulum PAUD tahun 2013 dan juga cara pembuatan perangkat pembelajaran yang tepat untuk kegiatan pembelajaran anak usia dini.

The relative effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches and pedagogies in early childhood has raised substantial debate. While the other are associated with the acquisition of basic skills and knowledge and some of them are associated with socio-emotional development and problem-solving abilities. In general, research revealed both positive and negative effects of pedagogical approaches, without favouring specific pedagogical approaches over mainstream ones. However, it is important to note that research evidence and studies considering the same approaches in the same context are very limited. On the other hand, specific pedagogical practices are found to enhance child development, including high-quality interactions involving sustained-shared thinking methods, play-based learning, scaffolding, as well as a combination of staff- and child initiated activities. Research impacts pedagogy and pedagogical practices in the sense that research findings can inform policy makers and practitioners on best practices and what works best in enhancing staff performance, process quality and child development. Research on pedagogy and practices is usually not conducted at the national level, but focuses on particular programmes. So, research review has been used as a guide or manual to provide pedagogical guidance for Early Childhood Education (ECE) staff not only in India but also worldwide. The main focus of the study is that how of the best pedagogical practices and approaches across the country can be useful and implemented in early childhood education

The chapter first examines at a conceptual level the links between theories of social investment and childcare expansion. Although ‘the perfect match’ between the two is often taken for granted in the specialized literature as well as in policy papers, it is here argued that a more nuance approach that ‘unpacks’ this relationship is needed. The chapter will then look for elements of variation in early childhood education and care (ECEC) expansion. Despite an increase in spending over the last two decades in many European and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, wide variation still exists in the way in which ECEC develops. A trade-off is often observed between coverage and quality of provision. A crucial dividing line that determines, to a large extent, the quality of provision in ECEC is the increasing differentiation between preschool education for children aged 3 and above and childcare for younger children.
