Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – AThere are many criteria set by parents before choosing a school for their children, one of which is the curriculum used during the learning process.
One type of curriculum that is popular as a choice for parents is the Cambridge Curriculum. Specifically for Early Childhood Education (PAUD), the Cambridge Curriculum available is Cambridge Early Years.
Quoting from the official Cambridge International Education website, Cambridge Early Years is a special curriculum program for children aged three to six years which aims to develop children inside and outside school.
“This is a play-based program that is child-centred and helps them to develop at their own pace. This encourages them to act independently, make their own choices and discover a sense of self-worth,” wrote Cambridge International Education, quoted on Wednesday (7/2/ 2024).
Playhouse Academy Jakarta is the first independent Kindergarten (TK) in Indonesia to achieve official accreditation from Cambridge International Education to implement the Cambridge Early Years curriculum.
Co-founder and Principal of Playhouse Academy, Dr. Astrid HW-Levi, revealed that the implementation of the Cambridge Early Years curriculum in her school aims to prepare children to be able and ready to compete when they want to continue their education to a higher level.
