This study aims to identify the level of kindergarten teachers’ understanding of digital learning as a means to foster creativity in children aged 4 to 6 years. A descriptive quantitative method was employed through a survey of 52 kindergarten teachers in the city of Lhokseumawe. Data were collected using online questionnaires and interviews, and analyzed using percentage-based techniques. The findings indicate that the majority of teachers lack understanding of digital learning (87%), are unfamiliar with the concept of constructive play (79%), and report the absence of digital learning guidebooks (85%). These results highlight an urgent need for comprehensive training in digital pedagogy and the development of technology-based educational play tools to enhance creativity in early childhood learners.</p> 2025-07-23T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Huwaina Awanis, Sudaryanti, SUCI SARI https://ejournal.uinmadura.ac.id/index.php/kiddo/article/view/19714 Stimulation of Children's Art Development: An Analysis of the Influence of Makeup Play Tools 2025-08-19T14:16:31+07:00 Heldanita Heldanita heldanita@uin-suska.ac.id Gina Shafira ginashafira77@gmail.com <p style="font-weight: 400;">This study aims to determine whether there is a significant influence of makeup play tools on the development of children's fine arts at Griya Bina Widya Kindergarten, Griya Bina Widya Unri Housing Complex, Tuah Madani District, Pekanbaru City.

However, its implementation often encounters challenges related to topic selection, teaching methods, and limited resources. This study aims to analyze the science activities being taught, the learning resources used, and the challenges faced by ECE teachers in Bandung City and Bandung Regency. Using a multi-case study approach, the research involved classroom observations and in-depth interviews conducted in 17 ECE institutions, with data analyzed thematically. Findings indicate that the most commonly taught science topics are colors and water, delivered through simple experiments using physical materials. In contrast, complex concepts such as human anatomy and engineering are rarely addressed due to teachers' limited understanding and the lack of instructional media. Key challenges include low levels of teacher scientific literacy, inadequate facilities, and the developmental characteristics of young learners that require adaptive approaches. These findings highlight the need for practice-based teacher training, the development of innovative learning media, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to support effective science instruction. This study offers practical contributions for educators, policymakers, and researchers in designing higher-quality and more sustainable science learning strategies for early childhood education.</p> 2025-08-26T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Akhmad Junaedi, Amelia Cahyani, Lintang Ratri Prastika https://ejournal.uinmadura.ac.id/index.php/kiddo/article/view/21280 Holistic Learning through Qurʾānic-Integrated STEM: Innovations in Early Childhood Pedagogy 2025-08-26T22:53:36+07:00 Sri Nurhayati srinurhayati@ikipsiliwangi.ac.id Marhamah nurshrie33@gmail.com Taufikin taufikin@iainkudus.ac.id Hani Sholihah nurshrie33@gmail.com Anissa Tri nurshrie33@gmail.com Rizky Maemunah nurshrie33@gmail.com Mohammad Moreb nurshrie33@gmail.com <p>This study offers a critical investigation into the epistemic and developmental implications of Qurʾānic-integrated STEM pedagogy within holistic early childhood education, as enacted in Indonesian Muslim community-based institutions. Confronting the persistent lacuna between secular STEM initiatives and culturally embedded educational imperatives, the research pursues a nuanced empirical exploration of how educators operationalize Islamic ethical and ontological constructs-rooted in Qurʾānic revelation and Islamic philosophical tradition-within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curricula. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological framework, the study sampled thirty-five female educators across institutional variations, employing semi-structured interviews, systematic document analysis, and non-participant classroom observations to triangulate data. Thematic analysis, conducted through iterative coding, elucidated five advanced pedagogical strategies: ritual epistemic framing, scriptural exegesis within scientific dialogue, inquiry-driven didactics, adab-infused socialization, and contemplative synthesis, each representing a locus for epistemological integration between empirical inquiry and spiritual cultivation. Empirical mapping of seven STEM activities revealed intentional alignment with Qurʾānic virtues-syukur (gratitude), amanah (accountability), khalifah (stewardship)-demonstrating their transformative agency across cognitive, psychomotor, spiritual-moral, socio-emotional, and environmental domains of child development. Synthesis of observational and participant narratives substantiated salient advances in learners’ scientific reasoning, metacognitive self-awareness, spiritual affectivity, communal solidarity, and environmental stewardship. These findings decisively extend the scholarly discourse by evidencing that Qurʾānic-integrated STEM environments do not merely impart scientific literacy, but foster learners marked by profound ethical orientation and ecological consciousness.</p> 2025-08-26T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Sri Nurhayati, Marhamah, Taufikin, Hani Sholihah, Anissa Tri, Rizky Maemunah, Mohammad Moreb https://ejournal.uinmadura.ac.id/index.php/kiddo/article/view/18371 The Implementation of Digital Transformational in Early Childhood Education 2025-08-26T23:19:21+07:00 Dinda Nurul Inayati dindaasofyan@gmail.com Yarsi Efendi efendiyarsi@gmail.com Ratna Fitri Hapsari hapsari.hadikusumo@gmail.com Desi Kardini Wulansari desikardiniwulansari@gmail.com Rais Hidayat rais72rais@gmail.com <p>Digital transformation in early childhood education (ECE) requires not only technological adoption but also managerial and pedagogical adjustments. However, empirical studies in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic kindergarten contexts, remain limited. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys of 100 teachers with qualitative interviews involving 10 principals, 20 teachers, 5 staff, and 15 parents, as well as classroom observations. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were applied, supported by triangulation. The findings show that digital transformation improved teacher creativity by 23%, student engagement by 19%, and parental collaboration by 21% compared to baseline conditions. Leadership emerged as a crucial factor in motivating teachers and aligning digital practices with school values. However, challenges persist, including limited infrastructure, unstable internet, and gaps in teachers’ digital competencies. Digital evaluation and monitoring obtained the lowest mean score (3.92, SD = 0.80), indicating the need for stronger assessment systems. This study confirms that digital leadership plays a central role in sustaining technology integration in ECE. Practical implications include continuous teacher training, investment in digital infrastructure, and the development of participatory evaluation systems. This study contributes to the literature by providing evidence from an Islamic kindergarten context, highlighting the managerial aspects of digital transformation in ECE.</p> 2025-08-26T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Dinda Nurul Inayati https://ejournal.uinmadura.ac.id/index.php/kiddo/article/view/17258 Stimulasi Keterampilan Sensorik pada Anak Usia Dini Melalui Media 3 Dimensi Diorama Tentang Kisah Nabi Ibrahim AS 2025-08-26T23:23:14+07:00 Isna Nur Chahyani Chahyani 2203106082@student.walisongo.ac.id Dwi Istiyani dwi_istiyani@student.walisongo.ac.id <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan sensorik anak di PAUD Harapan Bangsa melalui penggunaan media diorama tiga dimensi yang menggambarkan kisah Nabi Ibrahim AS.

Irfan Islamy irfan.islamy87@uin.antasari.ac.idm <p>This study investigates the green behavior-based teaching practices implemented by Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in Binuang District, South Kalimantan, after participating in a 20-day (40-hour) training program organized by the Early Childhood Education Department of the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at the State Islamic University of Antasari. The training covered topics such as the Merdeka Curriculum, active learning models, and lesson designs that support green behavior. The research method used is a case study with semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of teaching materials. The results show that the ECE teachers have successfully integrated sustainability values into daily learning activities for children. Through practical learning experiences such as waste sorting, tree planting, and recycling, children develop a sense of responsibility toward their environment. The teachers have applied the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and emphasized the important role of parental support in shaping environmentally friendly behavior in children. However, challenges in maintaining consistent sustainability practices were noted, particularly due to the lack of practical guidelines for teachers and high administrative burdens. Additionally, economic barriers faced by parents limit the full implementation of sustainability practices at home. These findings highlight the importance of teacher commitment, community involvement, and parental support in promoting environmental sustainability through early childhood education.</p> 2025-08-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Ika Irayana https://ejournal.uinmadura.ac.id/index.php/kiddo/article/view/21526 Strategi Intervensi Dini Orang Tua untuk Anak Usia 3-4 Tahun dengan Keterlambatan Bicara (Speech Delay) 2025-08-31T10:57:52+07:00 Kharisma Zulfa Inayah kharismainayah1@gmail.com Akhmad Mukhlis akhmadmu@uin-malang.ac.id <p><em>Parents still rarely observe about speech delays in children because they assume that children will talk as they get older. However, if the child has already experienced a speech delay, this study can help a little to find out the treatment carried out by therapists for children with speech delays and provide advice to parents about things that can be done for children with speech delays at home. The data obtained in this study were obtained using a case study with a qualitative approach, which was conducted on four early childhood therapists at SLB River Kids and directly observed how the therapists handled children with speech delays. The results of this study are several treatments by parents at home: 1) involving children in every parent activity 2) clear and slow verbal pronunciation by parents 3) filling in fun activities such as reading books together, singing and playing 4) always having two-way communication with children 5) documenting every development and difficulty of the child to be consulted with the therapist 6) being wise and minimizing the provision of screen time. So that in the future parents are expected to involve their children in every simple activity and communicate using verbal language in two directions.</em></p> 2025-08-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Kharisma Zulfa Inayah
