Abstract

Creativity in early childhood is a crucial foundation for children’s cognitive and social development. This article examines how various play activities can serve as effective media to build creativity in early childhood. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving children aged 4–6 years in early childhood education settings. The results show that constructive play, role-playing, and outdoor play activities significantly enhance children’s creative abilities. Furthermore, the role of the environment and adult support positively influences creativity development. These findings highlight the importance of providing meaningful play activities and a conducive environment to maximize children’s creative potential from an early age. Practical implications for educators and parents are also discussed as efforts to improve the quality of early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the traditional Ponti game in fostering values ​​of togetherness in early childhood at PAUD Kiddi Care Gorontalo. The Ponti game is a typical Gorontalo game that contains educational values ​​such as honesty, cooperation, discipline, sportsmanship, and tolerance. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and principals, and documentation of children's activities while playing. The results of the observations showed that children showed increased social skills, the ability to work together, and the development of positive attitudes such as honesty and sportsmanship during the game. However, several challenges were also identified, including children's limited understanding of the game's rules, fear of losing, and inadequate play facilities, which hindered the optimal implementation of activities. Interviews with teachers and principals revealed that the Ponti game plays a major role in shaping children's social character and strengthening local cultural identity. However, intensive guidance, emotional habituation, and support facilities are needed to maximize the benefits of this game. These findings suggest that the traditional Ponti game is not only an effective medium of entertainment but also a fun and contextual learning tool that can shape children's character as a whole. Therefore, Ponti games need to be integrated consistently into early childhood learning activities and supported by cultural preservation programs and relevant education policies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of play environment on the social-emotional maturity of children aged 3–5 years in childcare centers. The research employed a quantitative survey method involving 60 children as samples. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using correlation and simple linear regression tests. The results indicate that the play environment has a positive and significant effect on children’s social-emotional maturity. A safe, supportive play environment equipped with adequate facilities and responsive caregivers helps children develop social interaction skills, emotional regulation, and empathy. These findings emphasize the importance of improving the quality of play environments in childcare centers to support early childhood social-emotional development. The practical implication of this study is the need for optimal management of play environments and caregiver training as part of efforts to enhance early childhood education quality.
