Abstract

STEAM-based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) has begun to be developed a lot recently. This learning is considered able to answer the challenges of the times to be able to develop learning in the 21st century. STEAM is not only developed for secondary to tertiary education but is also developed for learning in early childhood. The challenges for developing STEAM-based learning are not small. The teacher considers that to provide learning about technology, for example, one must use sophisticated computer-based learning media, so it requires expensive costs. Also, science and engineering learning has not been developed much in kindergarten (TK) learning because it is considered a difficult concept to understand and requires high costs for the learning media. Learning media for early childhood is diverse and does not have to all buy new materials at a high cost. Likewise with learning media that can be used to develop STEAM-based learning. Teachers can make use of items or materials that are easily available, such as rocks, tree branches, seeds, used bottle caps, dry leaves, clothespins, etc. These removable materials are called loose parts. Loose parts are loose objects that can be moved, manipulated, and how to use them is determined by the child. These removable materials as learning media can make children think creatively and imaginatively. Loose parts can also be used as media in STEAM learning.

Abstract

Child-Friendly Schools (SRA) prioritize children's rights in learning to actualize individuals who need to be educated with good treatment. The SRA concept is intended to create a safe and enjoyable learning atmosphere at all levels of education, including early childhood education. A comfortable learning atmosphere for students positively impacts physical and psychological well-being, which leads to optimal developmental tasks. There are six components in the implementation of child-friendly PAUD, namely 1)policy, 2)curriculum implementation, 3)educators and education staff, 4)infrastructure, 5)child participation, and 6)parent and community participation. The group needs help realizing child-friendly PAUD, one of which is that the activity programs carried out by these PAUD institutions must meet the SRA indicators. The activity program in question is more specifically an effort to involve parents in realizing SRA. Parenting activities that have been carried out so far have yet to be in harmony with the activities carried out by schools, especially in fulfilling children's rights. Therefore it takes school principals' and teachers' knowledge and skills to design parenting activity programs aligned with school activities to realize SRA. This community service aims to carry out training in preparing parenting activity programs. The method for implementing this activity program consists of five stages, namely: 1)analysis of problems in partner institutions; 2)socialization (brainstorming and equalization of perceptions); 3)workshops; 4)assisting the implementation of child-friendly PAUD activity programs; 5)evaluation.
