Early childhood education as a basis of growth towards better future of child. In
early childhood development of physical, emotional, social, ethical and moral values takes
place. Child initially learns through its parents and later formal education happens in
schools. In School child develop its attitude skills and knowledge based on the curriculum
and pedagogy. Traditional curriculum and pedagogy are unable to develop and grow the
students to face modern challenges. New Modern curriculum development or pedagogy
development or text / book development will encourage improving the learning process, one
of the main process of learning in this new curriculum/pedagogy /text or book development is
scientific approach based learning process. The process of developing the ability to think this
is a process of discovery learning as meaningful learning. Meaningful learning is needed by
younger children as a learning process that will be the foundation of knowledge in the face of
developmental stages of thinking that will ultimately provide a solid foundation in the face of
further education stage. The learning process through a scientific approach is very
appropriate if delivered through an integrated approach, thematic approach and Holistic
approach. Thematic learning integrated is learning that can instill basic concepts of
knowledge, to increase knowledge of facts, and can provide interesting learning because the
theme is a theme that is very close to the child, simple, attractive, and incidental (according
to the event is happening), Using themes while working with young children has been
popular since John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer
first proposed that the curriculum should be related to real-life experiences. A thematic way
to deal with instructing includes incorporating every single branch of knowledge together
under one subject. Various teaching and learning methods can be used. Projects, cooperative
learning, active participation, experiential learning are often highlighted. Thinking and
problem solving skills, observation, critical reasoning, analysis and drawing conclusions are
key skills in thematic learning Research into how the brain works and the psychology of
learning shows that learning 2 is a process of integration. When we see how facts and ideas
connect with one another across subjects, we are constructing meaning. When we‟re able to
communicate that meaning, the learning is further reinforced. This is why theme-based
learning is so effective. It‟s the most natural way to learn
