<![CDATA[Early childhood literacy development forms the foundation of long-term academic achievement, yet monitoring practices in Early Childhood Education (ECE) settings are often manual, fragmented, and insufficiently integrated. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the BUSAK PAUD Application as an innovative digital system for monitoring early childhood literacy development. Employing a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, the study integrated qualitative needs analysis with quantitative expert validation and effectiveness testing. The findings indicate that the application achieved a highly feasible rating based on expert evaluations and demonstrated strong effectiveness in improving teachers’ efficiency, enabling structured and data-driven literacy monitoring, and strengthening collaborative communication between schools and parents. The study concludes that the BUSAK PAUD Application represents a technology-based managerial innovation that aligns literacy monitoring with developmental principles in early childhood education. Broader implementation, continuous user training, and further integration of comprehensive digital assessment features are recommended, while future research should examine scalability and long-term impact across diverse ECE contexts.]]>
