<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the existence of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in Non-Formal Education, identify the challenges faced, and formulate strategies for its development in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method combined with library research. Data were obtained from scientific journals, academic books, and research results from the last five years relevant to non-formal PAUD. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques by grouping the findings into five main focuses: the existence of PAUD, educator competencies, technology integration, the role of families, and curriculum and policy development. The results show that PAUD in Non-Formal Education still has a strong existence as an alternative education service in supporting equitable access to early childhood education, especially in remote and less accessible areas. However, various challenges remain, such as low pedagogical competence of educators, limited integration of technology in learning, and low public awareness of the importance of PAUD. In addition, the implementation of PAUD curriculum and policies still requires strengthening to be more adaptive and contextual. This study confirms that the success of non-formal PAUD is largely determined by the synergy between educators, families, communities, and the government. Therefore, development strategies are needed, including improving teacher competence, strengthening digital literacy, optimizing the role of families, and updating education policies. In this way, PAUD in Out-of-School Education can continue to develop as a crucial pillar in sustainable and equitable human resource development from an early age.]]>
