Clean and healthy life skills are still not given enough attention in the context of early childhood learning, even though these life skills are critical to inculcate in children at an early childhood so that they are capable of sustaining their health. The purpose of this study was to examine the application of clean and healthy Life skills in Early Childhood Education (ECE) Programs in the Kampar Regency. The research method is qualitative, employing a case study approach. Class observation, interviews, and documentation are all methods for data collection. The study's findings indicate that the importance of clean and healthy Life skills should be instilled in children at an early age, that ECE units should develop learning plans and activity programs, and that there is still a lack of clean and healthy Life skills due to a lack of teacher knowledge and the absence of special learning to instill clean and healthy life skills, there are still many children who lack the abilities to live a clean and healthy lifestyle, and learning models are required to develop early age children's clean and healthy Life skills.

“…In many classrooms, many teachers often use different kinds of cues for tidy-up time, and simply giving children two signals before a transition could help with this activity (Thelen and Klifman, 2011; Weldemariam, 2014). Some studies found that saving children’s play activities can promote smooth transitions to other activities (Izumi-Taylor et al, 2015; 2017; Weldemariam, 2014).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the similarities and differences in American and Taiwanese children’s perspectives of tidy-up time. The participants consisted of 25 American kindergarteners in the southeastern US, and 25 Taiwanese kindergarteners from central Taiwan. Children were asked to respond to five questions regarding tidy-up time. Qualitative analysis of the data yielded four themes: transitions, clean and safe environments, work, and cooperation. All participants associated tidy-up time with transitions. They considered tidy-up as the notion of maintaining clean environments, but only Taiwanese children perceived it to be keeping the classroom safe. Also, all participants viewed such time as work, and as time to cooperate with each other. More Taiwanese children’s responses indicated how they and their teachers cooperate during cleaning as compared to their American counterparts.
