Abstract

This study aims to describe how cheerful gymnastics activities can help improve the gross motor skills of early childhood students at TK ABA Kartini. The background of the research is based on the importance of physical stimulation during the golden age and the requirements of the early childhood education curriculum, which encourages the use of rhythmic movement activities. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with 20 children as subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that cheerful gymnastics, when carried out routinely through stages of warm-up, core movements, and cool-down, can enhance children’s balance, coordination, agility, strength, and flexibility. The children appeared more active, enthusiastic, and able to follow movement patterns well. Teachers played an essential role in demonstrating movements, organizing activities, and creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere through cheerful music. Challenges such as differences in children's motor abilities could be addressed through movement adjustments and additional guidance. Overall, cheerful gymnastics proved effective as a form of gross motor stimulation and can be integrated as a regular component of the learning program at TK ABA Kartini.

Abstract

 The development of creativity in early childhood within many Islamic educational institutions remains suboptimal because learning tends to be teacher-centered, offers limited exploration, and provides insufficient play experiences that stimulate higher-order thinking. This condition is also evident at Nurul Qur’an Stabat Kindergarten, where children have not yet gained adequate opportunities to experiment and generate original ideas. This study aims to examine how the implementation of STEAM-based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) using Loose Parts can enhance early childhood creativity. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the use of Loose Parts in STEAM-based learning successfully improved children’s creative thinking abilities, particularly in problem-solving, innovation, flexibility, and the ability to generate new ideas. Children became more active, imaginative, and confident in expressing their thoughts. These results indicate that the integration of STEAM and Loose Parts is not only effective in fostering creativity but also relevant for enriching learning practices in Islamic educational institutions that aim to develop children’s potential holistically.

Abstract

This study investigates how deliberate, play-centred collaboration between parents and preschool teachers influences children’s cognitive development, addressing a research gap on coordinated home–school play strategies in Indonesian early childhood settings. Using a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, 92 preschoolers (M = 5.1 years), 8 classroom teachers, and 92 parents from 4 urban preschools participated in an 8-week Partners in Play intervention. Parent–teacher dyads co-planned weekly play modules aligned with Vygotskian guided-play principles. Children’s working memory, verbal reasoning, and cognitive flexibility were assessed using adapted WPPSI-IV subtests before and after the intervention. At the same time, observational rubrics and parent play logs triangulated quantitative gains with qualitative insights. ANCOVA was used to test mean-score differences, and thematic coding in NVivo 14 examined communication patterns. Children in the intervention group outperformed controls in working memory (η² = 0.18) and cognitive flexibility (η² = 0.12). At the same time, gains in verbal reasoning approached significance (p = .07). Qualitative findings identified three reinforcing mechanisms: a shared play language that scaffolded metacognition; consistent cognitive challenges across home and school contexts; and reciprocal feedback loops that enabled weekly refinement of play activities. Reported barriers included limited parental time and teachers’ initial uncertainty in co-designing home-based activities. Although the modest sample size and urban focus limit generalisability, the findings offer an evidence-based, low-cost implementation model for early childhood programmes through brief co-planning workshops, a shared play glossary, and simple progress-sharing tools. This study contributes to broader debates on home–school partnership and play-based learning in early childhood education by providing experimental evidence that structured parent–teacher collaboration functions as an active cognitive scaffold within guided play, and is relevant beyond Indonesia because similar challenges of fragmented learning environments and uneven family engagement are evident across diverse ECE contexts.
