The development of 21st-century skills requires learning approaches that foster logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities from an early age. One approach that supports these competencies is computational thinking. However, the integration of computational thinking in early childhood education remains limited due to teachers’ lack of understanding regarding its concepts and implementation. Therefore, this community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ knowledge and skills in integrating computational thinking into STEM-based learning at TK Sultan Agung YBW UII. The program was implemented through three main stages: preparation and training, program development, and evaluation and sustainability. During the training stage, teachers were introduced to the fundamental concepts of computational thinking through workshops and problem-solving activities. Subsequently, teachers developed learning materials and Daily Learning Plans (RKH) based on computational thinking, integrating literacy, numeracy, and simple science experiments. The evaluation stage was conducted through a Focus Group Discussion to assess the suitability of the developed materials with the characteristics of early childhood learning. The results indicate that teachers were able to understand the principles of computational thinking and integrate them into thematic learning materials and classroom activities. Furthermore, this approach was considered relevant for supporting STEM-based learning while strengthening young children's problem-solving abilities. This program contributes to improving teachers’ capacity to design innovative learning activities and provides a model for integrating computational thinking in early childhood education.
