ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the ideas and artistic creations during the process of internationalizing the early childhood curriculum in the school. Children in the infant and toddler years are in the scribbling stage, and their images become more intentional while they assign meaning to their scribbles. At this age level, the children were able to express meanings that were increasingly consistent during the pre-schematic stage of artistic development. The children’s artwork and stories were coded according to themes that emerged from the data, and were analyzed separately as Year One and Year Two. The children’s conceptualizations of the “world” and “earth” were interconnected, and they sometimes used the words interchangeably. One child’s concept of the world was a trip she would take with her mother to pick up garbage and then return home.
