The Role of Literature in The Implementation of Integrative Holistic Early Childhood Education Services

Abstract

Integrative Holistic Early Childhood Education prioritizes forms of collaboration in achieving its goals, namely to form the intelligence, health and character of children with noble character. This form of collaboration cannot exclude the role of culture. Literature as an element of culture has opportunities to collaborate in Holistic Early Childhood Education services. This paper will describe the role of literature in Holistic Early Childhood Education Services. The analytical method used uses a phenomenological perspective. The recommended findings are 1) reading children's literature, 2) introduction to literary gastronomy, 3) writing parenting reports in a literary style, 4) posters based on literary language, and 5) appreciation of literature.
