The nature-based curriculum is applied at PAUD in every learning activity daily by considering the situation and conditions, including the weather on the implementation day. The nature-based curriculum is considered effective enough to achieve learning objectives; teachers can easily stimulate six early childhood development aspects. Aspects of early childhood development that experience significant development are in the physical, motoric, and cognitive aspects; it is shown by the development of students who are increasingly proficient in using accomplices during activities. Meanwhile, in the cognitive aspect of early childhood, it is easier to remember what the teacher conveys because they have direct experience.
