Qualitative data were collected by observing the behavior between the researcher and the classroom teacher. Descriptive statistics using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation inferential statistics used paired sample t-test. Qualitative data were analyzed by coding and grouping data. The research findings were comparative results of EFs of early childhood who received OLEs based on High-Scope concept using storybooks had EFs overall and each aspect after the experiment were higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .05 level and development of early childhood who received OLEs based on High-Scope concept using storybooks had developmental overall and each aspect after the experiment were higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .05 level
