Playing curriculum development based on early childhood learning is a major issue in international early childhood education discussions. This study aims to look at the concepts and practices of play-based curriculum in early childhood education institutions. The study uses qualitative methods with the CIPP model program evaluation on play-based curriculum. Data collection techniqueswere carriedout using participatory observation, document studies and interviews. Participants are early childhood educators, early childhood and parents. The results found that the play-based curriculum has not yet become the main note in the preparation and development of concepts and learning practices in early childhood. Play-based curriculum quality standards have not provided a solid and clear concept foundation in placing play in the center of learning models. Other findings the institution has not been able to use the DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice) approach fully, and has not been able to carry out the philosophy and ways for developing a curriculum based on play. However, quite a lot of research found good practices implemented in learning centers in early childhood education institutions, such as develop children's independence programs through habituation to toilet training and fantasy play.

Early childhood is a critical period for cognitive, social, and emotional development, making it essential to foster critical thinking and curiosity in educational settings. This study explores the implementation of inquiry-based science learning for children aged 5-6 years within the Merdeka Curriculum framework to enhance these key developmental skills. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study designed, implemented, and evaluated inquiry-based science modules. Data were collected through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including observations, interviews, and pre- and post-tests. The findings revealed that inquiry-based learning significantly improved children’s critical thinking, curiosity, and understanding of scientific concepts, with pre-test scores improving from 46.29% to 80.57% in small group trials and from 48.38% to 80.76% in large group trials. While the approach increased student engagement and curiosity, teachers faced challenges in managing inquiry-based classrooms, indicating the need for further professional development. The study concludes that inquiry-based science learning aligns with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum, promoting active learning and cognitive growth in early childhood education. Further support for teachers is recommended to ensure effective implementation and classroom management
