This study aimed to determine the effect of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on the early numeracy skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK TA Muslimat NU 12 Nolokerto. The study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 59 children. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, and analyzed using a Paired Samples t-test. The results showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05; t = 8.405), indicating that Project-Based Learning significantly improved children's early numeracy skills.
