<![CDATA[Effective curriculum management is essential for quality early childhood education, yet manual practices remain constrained by time-consuming documentation, limited monitoring of children’s development, weak integration of planning, implementation, and assessment, and challenges in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze needs, design, develop, and test an integrated web based ECE curriculum management information system to support more systematic and efficient curriculum management. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach with an Agile development methodology and involved 25 teachers from 10 ECE institutions as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and system testing using Black Box testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS), and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The developed system integrates Program Semester (Prosem), RPPM, RPPH, activity scheduling, teacher daily journals, child development assessment, and digital report card generation. The testing results showed that the main system features functioned according to the established testing scenarios and demonstrated good usability. In conclusion, the developed system provides a more integrated and structured approach to ECE curriculum management while supporting administrative automation and the use of data for child development monitoring. The implication is that the system can serve as a digital alternative to help teachers and administrators improve curriculum management efficiency while supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in a more systematic manner.]]>
