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

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

General Background: Cognitive development in early childhood is a fundamental domain that shapes logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and observational abilities. Specific Background: However, learning activities in early childhood education often remain dominated by rote memorization with limited exploratory engagement. Knowledge Gap: Few studies have systematically applied simple experimental methods as a structured learning strategy in early childhood settings. Aims: This study investigates the application of simple experiments to optimize the cognitive development of children aged 5–6 years in TK Marwah, Tanjung Jabung Timur. Results: Using a classroom action research design with two cycles and 12 children as participants, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Findings indicate significant improvements in children’s abilities to observe, classify, and conclude, with cognitive achievement increasing from 41.6% in the pre-cycle to 83.3% in the second cycle. Novelty: The study highlights how simple, playful scientific activities—such as color mixing and observing changes in objects—provide meaningful stimulation for early cognitive growth. Implications: These results suggest that simple experimental methods can be integrated into early childhood curricula to foster scientific thinking and active learning. Highlights: Structured simple experiments stimulate scientific thinking in early learners. Cognitive achievement improved significantly across two research cycles. Practical approach applicable for sustainable early childhood education. Keywords: Simple Experiment, Cognitive Development, Early Childhood, Scientific Learning, Active Learning

Pergaulan bebas merupakan bentuk hubungan sosial di kalangan remaja yang melewati batas norma agama, budaya, maupun sosial, sehingga memunculkan perilaku yang menyimpang dari nilai moral serta berisiko mengganggu masa depan remaja. Keterbatasan informasi yang tepat mengenai kesehatan reproduksi menyebabkan remaja lebih mudah terpengaruh oleh pergaulan yang tidak sehat. Temuan penelitian terkini mengungkapkan bahwa strategi edukasi yang berlandaskan nilai agama dan moral dapat secara efektif mengurangi perilaku pergaulan bebas. Kegiatan sosialisasi yang dilakukan KKN Kelompok 3 bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman remaja tentang bahaya pergaulan bebas, terbentuknya sikap, perilaku, pergaulan yang lebih positif dan berkurangnya perilaku menyimpang di kalangan remaja. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan di Balai Desa Mekar Jaya pada tanggal 06 juli 2025. Peserta atau subjek dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah siswa MTS, MA/SMK yang berjumlah 23 orang. Metode yang digunakan yaitu metode kualitatif dengan teknik seminar dan tanya jawab. Untuk menghindari terjadinya pergaulan bebas ini, dapat dilakukan sosialisasi kepada remaja desa Mekar Jaya terkait buruknya dampak pergaulan bebas. Sosialisasi dapat dilakukan melalui pemberian edukasi kepada remaja maupun dengan pendekatan personal secara langsung. Pendekatan personal ini terbukti memberi dampak positif dalam menekan tingginya kasus pergaulan bebas yang banyak terjadi pada masa kini.
