<![CDATA[This study aims to determine whether the arrangement of the play environment using practical life media can improve independence in children aged 5-6 years at RA An-Nuriyah South Jakarta. This research was motivated by the underdevelopment of children's independence, who still frequently rely on teacher assistance due to a classroom layout that does not support children's independence. The study was conducted using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with the Kemmis and Taggart model, consisting of two cycles. Each cycle includes four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the arrangement of the environment based on practical life media can improve independence in children aged 5-6 years with pre-cycle results of 49.03%, Cycle I of 59.28%, and Cycle II of 79.28%. It can be concluded that the arrangement of the play environment through practical life media is effective in improving the independence of children aged 5-6 years, resulting in a learning space arranged according to children's needs, so that children take the initiative to tidy up and return items without teacher assistance.]]>
