Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is globally recognized as a crucial element of education for all. Therefore, countries have intensely pursued it. After many efforts, progress towards ensuring ECCE is apparent in many countries in the world. But most of them could not either completely achieve this goal or compromised its quality due to inadequate resources, improper planning and ineffective implementation strategies; especially a vast and populous country like India. A number of initiatives have been taken by the Government of India for bringing quality in the form of policies, plans, constitutional amendments, acts, development of quality standards and curriculum framework, schemes and flagship programs like Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS); District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). In this endeavour, somewhere India has compromised with the nonnegotiable quality standards for ECCE, leading the emergence of expected and unexpected issues and challenges. As a result, the country has missed the target of ensuring quality in ECCE. However, recent studies give evidence of tremendous progress towards quality reforms. Of course, there are low achievements in some aspects and in some regions, but also improvement in others which shows that ensuring quality is an attainable target. This paper intends to describe initiatives of the Government of India, assess the ground realities, identify major challenges in quality reform in ECCE and suggest possible enablers to reach out the same.

In the fourth industrial revolution, the world needs young people to possess critical thinking and communication abilities, as well as collaboration and technological skills, which enable them to participate in an international environment. However, due to the lack of early childhood education, young people in Indonesia lack the innovativeness and competencies which are expected of them. This study aims to discover the traditional activities that enhance early childhood education using local wisdom in Cireundeu, Indonesia. The qualitative approach uses the descriptive method and reveals the consciousness of the indigenous people in Cireundeu to engage in traditional Sundanese and cultural practices by preparing children to become ethical human beings as well as being productive and informed global citizens. The results showed that Sundanese local wisdom which has the principle of think globally and acts locally has an impact on the quality of early childhood education that is better in responding to the era of globalization. Furthermore, this Sundanese local wisdom managed to internalize global awareness values through the development of global’s mindset and intellectuality begins in early childhood education in a sustainable manner. The implementation of this study can be applied not only to children in Cireundeu, but also to all children all over the world.
