| Description: | The Beyond Centers and Circle Time (BCCT) training emerges as a progressive pedagogical intervention, strategically designed to amplify early childhood educators’ capacity in fostering holistic language development among young learners. One of the prevailing challenges educators face in early childhood education (ECE) settings is their limited pedagogical acumen and practical proficiency in employing instructional methodologies that effectively stimulate linguistic growth. This article critically examines the implementation of BCCT training programs for ECE educators and elucidates their implications for children’s language acquisition. The training encompassed a two-day seminar and interactive workshops, engaging 43 educators from 24 ECE institutions across Greater Bandung. The BCCT training at PAUD Bandung Raya began with a comprehensive seminar discussing the importance of literacy for children’s language and cognitive development, early literacy strategies, and the principles and practices of BCCT. Participants then engaged in simulations of eight learning centers—religion, art, music, language, motor skills, science, social studies, and block play—as pedagogical exploration spaces for designing educational play-based activities. The results showed that implementing BCCT successfully constructed a dynamic learning environment, enriched children’s linguistic experiences, strengthened social interactions, and accelerated the expansion of their vocabulary and communication skills.
