Abstract
Indonesia is located in a strategic area. In 2018, its population reached 265,000,000, placing Indonesia as the fourth most populated country in the world. Out of this total population, there were 19,229,800 children of 3- 4-year age group. Nawacita (the vision of the Indonesian government) initiated the establishment of early childhood education institutions, especially for rural communities in the frontier, borderland, and remote regions by targeting a one-year compulsory education program for young children before entering elementary school. The government has guaranteed that by 2030 all preschoolers (0-5 years) will have received education and care in early childhood education. The Green Education for Young Children program includes the topic of energy conservation, with two main objectives: First, to help young children understand how to conserve electricity in the context of green education; and second, to model the implementation of energy-saving behavior for other family members of the young children.
