The development of green curriculum is a necessity in the current situation and condition, especially to prepare prospective early childhood education teachers. Why is green curriculum important for prospective ECE teachers and what is its importance for achieving Indonesia’s national education goals? Early childhood education study programs at universities in Indonesia totaled 396 in 2019, but there has not been a detailed study of whether each ECE study program at each university has implemented green curriculum. The study is very important to be done to find out the implementation of green curriculum in resulting prospective ECE teachers who have good knowledge and understanding of the environment through theoretical and practical courses to result professional ECE teachers who have an awareness of the environmentally friendly curriculum, which is carried out at universities. The purpose of this study was to determine the development of green curriculum as a provision for the resources of prospective professional early childhood education teachers studied from the implementation of environmentally friendly curriculum in ECE study programs in universities. The research method used is survey research design with google form data collection tools as a tool in collecting large and extensive data. The result of research in the implementation of green curriculum in ECE study program is that there is not yet standardized for environmentally friendly education that is sensitive to rapid environmental and social changes in our society today, while the challenges of the green curriculum on education must be made attractive to create a conducive atmosphere for prospective professional early childhood education teachers so that in the future it can stimulate children from an early age. In conclusion, the study program in universities must develop green curriculum for the resources of prospective professional ECE teachers, so that environmental problems and challenges can be educated since becoming students and from an early age. © 2020 IJSTR.
