Abstract

The curriculum is a set of plans and arrangements regarding the objectives, content and learning materials as well as the methods used as guidelines for the implementation of learning activities to achieve certain educational goals. Learning objectives will be achieved optimally if supported by an adequate curriculum. The learning process in early childhood education needs special attention, because early childhood is in a sensitive period. At an early age, children are very sensitive to various learning stimuli around them, so they need a child-friendly learning environment. This paper aims to describe the concept of developing a child-friendly early childhood education curriculum. The research method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The SLR method is used to identify, assess, and interpret all findings on research topics to answer predetermined research questions. The SLR method has three steps, namely planning, implementation, and reporting. Sources of data in this study were collected from Garuda Reference Digital and Google Scholar. The articles reviewed are 15 articles. The selection of articles was determined which was published between 2012-2021. The results of the study based on a literature review show learning material is the main basis in implementing child-friendly early childhood. The learning materials that have been determined must then be planned before their application so that the learning process has a directed guide so that learning objectives can be achieved optimally. The learning process ends with an individual assessment by taking into account the unique characteristics of the child. The concept of implementing a friendly early childhood curriculum organized from learning materials, development and learning content programs and learning development assessments is expected to realize child-friendly early childhood learning in accordance with the principles of child-friendly schools so that a better future generation can be realized.
