<![CDATA[Learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE) should be designed based on children’s developmental characteristics by emphasizing play activities, exploration, social interaction, and meaningful learning experiences. However, many early childhood educators still face challenges in developing creative, innovative, and child-centered learning strategies that can create enjoyable and engaging classroom environments. This community service program aimed to provide education and strengthen the pedagogical competencies of early childhood educators in designing and implementing fun and meaningful learning activities at the Sumberrejo Early Childhood Education Cluster, Batang Hari District, East Lampung Regency. The program was implemented using an educational-participatory approach through several stages, including needs identification, delivery of learning materials, interactive discussions, demonstrations, development of creative learning activities, and reflection and evaluation. The participants were early childhood educators from the Sumberrejo Cluster who actively engaged throughout the implementation process. The results showed an improvement in educators’ understanding of play-based learning principles, the utilization of simple and contextual learning media, the development of creative learning activities, and strategies for creating a comfortable, active, and enjoyable learning environment for children. Furthermore, the program encouraged teachers to optimize the surrounding environment as a contextual learning resource to support children’s exploration and creativity. This program concludes that strengthening educators’ competencies through enjoyable learning education is an effective strategy to improve the quality of early childhood education services. Continuous mentoring and the development of teacher learning communities are recommended to ensure the sustainable implementation of innovative learning practices in ECE institutions.]]>
