Summary: 
Children's Rights are enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Accordingly, every child has the right to live and grow up healthy and safe. Studies show that these rights ensure that children are not only passive recipients of the exercise of rights from adults but also active participants in their own development in the exercise of rights concerning other children. Therefore, children's rights and children's rights education must be implemented first of all in the process of caring for and nurturing them in each family, social community, and school. It must continue to be reflected in the educational curricula at both the national and school levels. Based on a literature review of the children’s rights education toolkit, this paper explores children’s rights education in the current Vietnam early childhood education curriculum. The findings show some of its aspects. These findings are the basis for further improvement of the new early childhood education curriculum.
