Abstract

This study aims to describe the preparation, implementation, and effectiveness of the Beyond Center and Circle Time (BCCT) block centre learning model in enhancing the cognitive development of early childhood students at TKIT 1 Qurrota A’yun, Ponorogo. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results indicate that teacher preparation, including lesson planning and learning environment organisation, aligns with BCCT principles. Applying the block centre model effectively fostered cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, early mathematical logic, and spatial understanding. However, limitations in space and some students’ uneven progress suggest room for improvement in infrastructure and teaching methods. This study highlights the importance of teacher training and infrastructure development to optimise the BCCT model further. Future research should explore how enhancing facilities can improve learning outcomes in diverse educational settings.
