The development of early childhood cognitive abilities requires learning media that is concrete, interactive, and in accordance with the stages of child development. This study aims to examine the use of Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) in supporting the development of cognitive abilities of children aged 5–6 years in KB Babus Salam. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the principal, teachers, and children as informants. Data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The validity of the data was tested by triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that the use of IFP supports children's cognitive development, especially in the ability to think symbolically, think logically, and solve simple problems. This media makes learning more interesting, so that children show better activity, enthusiasm, and understanding when the material is presented visually and interactively. Although some children still need the teacher's help in completing assignments, the use of IFP is able to create an interactive classroom atmosphere and encourage children's involvement in various learning activities. These findings confirm that IFP plays a role as a relevant interactive digital media to support early childhood cognitive development and can be an alternative learning media in early childhood institutions according to children's learning characteristics.
