Early childhood education (ECD) can be organized through formal, non-formal and / or informal education. Objective: To provide the correlation of cognitive adaptive skills in children with non-formal and informal early childhood education programs. Method: This study using cross sectional method. Subjects were children aged 2-3 years who get in non-formal and informal early childhood education programs. The subject’s cognitive adaptive skills score (CAT DQ) were measured using a Capute Scales questionnaire. Results: Obtained mean of CAT DQ on the subject from non-formal early childhood education is higher than the subject from informal early childhood education. On the subject of non-formal early childhood education had a mean score 101.1995 ±10.20396 while on the subject of informal early childhood education had a mean score 88.7207 ± 9.01492 and the statistic result difference significantly (p = 0.001) between CAT DQ and the status of early childhood education (ECD). On the correlation statistical test of these two variables there is a significant correlation with the strength of the correlation coefficient is medium (r = 0.584). Conclusion: In the sample of children who received non-formal early childhood education stimulation had a mean score of cognitive adaptive skills higher compared to the mean score of cognitive adaptive skills of the children who received informal early childhood education stimulation.
