Abstract

General Background: Teachers’ professional competence is a key determinant of education quality, particularly at the early childhood level. Specific Background: Principals play a pivotal role in designing and implementing strategies to foster teachers’ competence in lesson planning, classroom management, and innovative teaching practices. Knowledge Gap: While many studies have examined teacher development, limited research has explored principals’ systematic strategies in the context of community-based PAUD institutions. Aim: This study aims to describe the strategies implemented by the principal of PAUD Sejenis Pelita Bunda Muaro Jambi to improve teachers’ professional competence. Results: Using a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation, the findings reveal that five main strategies—academic supervision, internal workshops, teacher learning communities, motivation and appreciation, and performance evaluation—significantly supported teacher development. Additional initiatives such as literacy culture, digital learning, and benchmarking enriched teachers’ professional growth, with 80% of teachers reporting improved ability to design lesson plans (RPPH). Novelty: This study highlights the integration of formal and informal strategies, combining supervision with collaborative and motivational practices. Implications: The findings emphasize the importance of principals’ adaptive leadership in sustaining teacher professionalism and can serve as a model for early childhood institutions seeking to strengthen teaching quality. Highlights: Principals integrate supervision, training, and evaluation Collaborative communities foster teacher professional growth Literacy, technology, and benchmarking enrich competence Keywords: Principal Strategy, Professional Competence, Teacher Development, PAUD, Leadership

Abstract

General Background: Literacy in early childhood is a fundamental aspect that supports language, cognitive, and social development. Specific Background: However, many kindergarten-aged children face limited stimulation, and reading activities are often less engaging due to lack of supportive media. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have examined early literacy practices, but few have explored the practical role of reading corners in kindergarten settings. Aims: This study aims to describe the implementation of reading corners and their contribution to improving literacy skills among children aged 5–6 years at TK Negeri 05 Mekarsari. Results: The findings indicate that the reading corner facilitated significant improvements in children’s abilities to recognize letters, increase vocabulary, and retell stories. Novelty: This study highlights the contextual application of reading corners as an effective literacy environment that stimulates children’s motivation and active participation. Implications: The results suggest that reading corners can be optimized as a simple yet impactful strategy in early childhood education, emphasizing the importance of teacher creativity and parental involvement in strengthening literacy culture from an early age. Highlights: Reading corner improves children’s literacy in kindergarten Supports vocabulary growth and storytelling skills Strengthens literacy culture with teacher and parent roles Keywords: Early Childhood Education, Literacy, Reading Corner, Vocabulary, Storytelling

Abstract

General Background: Fine motor development is a crucial foundation for early childhood learning readiness, particularly for writing, drawing, and self-care activities. Specific Background: Children aged 5–6 years require appropriate stimulation to strengthen finger muscles and hand-eye coordination, yet structured motor skill programs remain limited in many kindergartens. Knowledge Gap: Although playdough has been widely used in informal learning, little research has documented its systematic application in formal early childhood education. Aims: This study investigates how structured playdough activities contribute to improving fine motor skills in children aged 5–6 years at TK Pembina Muara Sabak Barat. Results: Findings revealed significant improvements, with 80% of children demonstrating enhanced abilities in rolling, cutting, pinching, and shaping objects after four weeks of intervention. Novelty: The study highlights playdough as a low-cost, engaging, and versatile medium that integrates physical skill development with creativity and thematic learning. Implications: The results underscore the importance of incorporating sensory-based play regularly in early childhood classrooms, offering practical guidance for teachers and parents to support holistic child development. Highlights: Playdough strengthens hand-eye coordination in early childhood Structured activities improve finger dexterity and creativity Effective low-cost medium for motor and learning development Keywords: Playdough, Fine Motor Skills, Early Childhood, Sensory Play, Kindergarten
