INTRODUCTION
Among the overview of early childhood education centers, which we generally
know. The early childhood education center will provide a black and white form.
Other than that, we also know that before entering a child into a child education
center or better known as kindergarten. They will ask parents to fill out a registration
form. Not only that, they will also talk about the teaching and learning system that
their children will receive. In addition, we also know that the facilities provide at the
childhood center guarantee or more convince us that their children will get comfort
while studying. They can feel the place where they school is harmonies, safe and
happy to study. As we know that early childhood education centers available across
the country is licensed Thus, the safety of children is guaranteed safe.
Most countries set up Early Childhood Education Centers because, they find
that these children are under-observed. As such, this has been of concern to the
United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. These children, form a general
point of view, they are national asset therefore, (UNESO, 2007). Has given emphasis
to all the countries that the quality of early childhood education needs to be
improved. In generally, there are some comments that have been documented by
the ‘Hungarian Education Research” that stating ‘Implementing the Right of the
children Early Childhood’ by United Nations Committee on the Right of the Child.
In general, we also know that the establishment of the early childhood
education center is able to produce a generation that is successful in term of
creativity, patriotism and big heart. Not only that, we also know that these children
need to be emphasized to build their identity. So that not a single child is till out of
school, illiterate and so on. Early Childhood Education Centers not only to teach
them but also help them to be more active and proactive. Among them is
implementing co-curriculum in schools. In addition, such as early childhood
education in Malaysia teaches these preschool children, by following the Document
Standard co-curriculum assessment guidelines that have been subject to the Ministry
of Education. Moreover, with that availability of such guidance to the educator, to see
the development that takes place in the child.

Malaysia has shown that there are age categories that allow children to start
getting an education at an age early age, to produce informed individual to survive
the 21st century. Among the age groups of children, most parents send them to
kindergarten at the earlier age in order to get an education at an early age for their
children. Usually under 5 years old. Hence preschool is more effective as formal
learning. Although, these children are given an education at an early age, yet the
kindness he gives has a great impact, this can help see the cognitive development of
the child from an early stage. Thus, parents can find out more easily so that they can
stabilize the social and education development of the world.
It is gratifying when children are given an education and the existence
of this early childhood education center can help or give them the joy of going
through their childhood by getting an education not in a stressful way but in a fun
way and make it easier for them to receive learning. Such with various activities. As
we know that especially children in this era, they are fonder of active as well as
creative learning than passive. Early childhood education is a term to describe formal
and non-formal education programs that enable the development and growth of
children.

JUSTIFICATION OF THEMES
1) The First Time I Meet You
- At the beginning of the school week for children, they should attend an orientation
session where they get to know the teacher and new friends at school for the first
time they learn. My purpose in creating this theme is that I want to teach students
to communicate and interact with other students even with teachers, because
students have to learn to talk to friends they have just met. When they can
achieve that objective, of course the students will be good friends and even their
teacher. In this first week with the theme of the first time i meet you, this can
teach students to get acquainted with other students and teachers that they have
just met for the first time.
2) Let’s Keep Clean
- First of all, the purpose behind the theme of let's keep clean is to teach young
children how to clean themselves so that we look neat and smart. The purpose of
this theme is that I want to teach students how to keep themselves clean and
tidy. Examples are I will teach children to brush their teeth properly, bathe with
soap and shampoo, cut nails when they are long, wear clothes and pants
properly and tie or comb their hair neatly. Pupils will be able to learn ways to
clean themselves, and they will even be able to comb or comb their hair on their
own when they achieve that objective. However, when the students are able to
achieve the objectives on this theme the students will be able to accustom
themselves to being a clean and tidy person.
3) Safety First
- As we know, many things happen in our country about the news that is not
pleasant to hear again there is news about children and even parents are very
worried about their children if their children go outside to play. Therefore, my
purpose in creating the theme of safety first is to teach children to take care of
themselves when outside or when they see strangers. I want to teach students to
keep their bodies from being touched by strangers, run away from people we
don’t know, avoid playing outside, don’t take food or drink on others and don’t

dare go out alone. When students can learn to take care of themselves, students
will begin to understand what personal safety means and they will also begin to
take care so that they are always safe.
4) Celebrations in Malaysia
- There are various types of festivals in malaysia that we celebrate, because there
are different types of races. Therefore, we must know and respect the festivals of
other races. The theme of festivals in malaysia can cultivate students to know
what festivals are in malaysia. My purpose is that I want to teach students to
know the festivals in malaysia other than the Eid celebration. As an example, I
will teach my students Chinese New Year celebrations, deepavali, merdeka day
celebrations and so on. When students can learn about the festivals in malaysia,
they will know the celebrations that exist in malaysia.
5) Nation in Malaysia
- As we know, there are many nations all over Malaysia because our country is
one culture. In fact, at a young age, of course they will not know what race and
what races mean in Malaysia. Therefore, I have planned to create a theme about
race in Malaysia because I can teach students to know race and ethnicity. As an
example is what race means, show a video of what race is in Malaysia, why we
should respect other races and wear racial costumes in malaysia. When students
learn about race, in malaysia, they will be more attentive to other races. However,
students should know the races that exist in Malaysia and they can also respect
other races.
6) Love Our Nature
- Learning in school is not just about the alphabet, numbers, animals, plants and
so on. In fact, we can also teach students about the environment. The purpose of
the theme of loving the environment is that I want to teach my students to take
care of the environment, besides that I can teach students not to throw garbage
everywhere because it will pollute our environment. Learning about the
environment can cultivate students to love the environment so that their
environment is clean and practice themselves to take care of the environment
such as throwing trash into a nearby trash can.

7) This is My Dream Car
- There are various types of vehicles that students can learn about, because
learning about vehicles can increase their knowledge. The purpose of this theme
is my vehicle is for me to want to teach students about the existence of three
vehicles for example land vehicles, air vehicles and water vehicles. Once the
students already know and learn the three types of vehicles, I will give the
students to create a model of the vehicle they like as learned. For example,
students can model cars, airplanes or the like. Students can learn something new
and provide new experiences. This theme can also give them creativity and
thinking skills to create a car model with their parents.
8) When I Grow Up
- In addition, the theme I created was when I grow up which tells about uniformed
and non-uniformed jobs instead of talking about ideals. My goal is to teach
students to understand the meaning of ambition for example is the ambition of
becoming a doctor, teacher, policeman, firefighter or chef. When students learn
about ambitions, of course they will think of what ambitions they want when they
grow up. Pupils will have thinking skills, as they will be able to imagine the
ambitions they want when they grow up.
