Abstract

Stunting in early childhood is a major nutritional problem that impairs children’s physical growth and cognitive development. One of the main contributing factors is the low level of parental food literacy, particularly among mothers. This study systematically reviews existing literature on parental understanding of food literacy and its role in preventing stunting in early childhood. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA. Articles were retrieved from four academic databases—Scopus, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis—covering publications between 2013 and 2024. A total of twenty eligible articles were analyzed thematically. The results show that parental food literacy significantly influences children’s dietary quality, with variations determined by education, socioeconomic status, access to information, and family food culture. Moreover, everyday practices such as food selection, preparation, and serving reflect the application of food literacy, which is strongly associated with child growth outcomes. This review highlights the importance of strengthening parental food literacy through community-based education and government-supported intervention programs as strategic measures to reduce stunting prevalence.

Abstract

Social conflict and intolerance in Indonesia emphasize the importance of peace education from an early age. This study aims to explore the pesantren approach in building peace education and social stability for early childhood. The study uses a qualitative method with a library research design through systematic analysis of 45 main literature sources, including indexed journal articles, reference books on Islamic education and peace education, and pesantren curriculum documents based on early childhood education. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis techniques to identify patterns of peace value integration in pesantren educational practices. The findings show that Islamic boarding schools develop the foundations of peaceful character through three main approaches: (1) moral education based on akhlak (ethics) that instills the values of tasamuh (tolerance) and ta'awun (cooperation), (2) the halaqah tradition as a space for democratic dialogue to practice communication and conflict resolution, and (3) community-based social activities as a laboratory for practicing the values of peace. This holistic approach integrates cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions in character building.The practical implication of this research is the need to develop a more structured pesantren-based peace education curriculum and strengthen collaboration between pesantren and formal educational institutions to reinforce social stability in multicultural societies.

Abstract

Learning tahfidz in early childhood not only requires the ability to memorize Qur'anic verses, but also requires strengthening reading skills as a basis for more precise and quality memorization. In practice, some tahfidz learning is still repetitive and academic so that it is not in accordance with the characteristics of child development. The Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) approach offers child-friendly learning strategies through play activities, hands-on experiences, and stimuli tailored to the child's cognitive, language, and social-emotional developmental stages. This study aims to describe the application of DAP-based tahfidz learning and find out its improvement in children's Qur'an reading skills. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The subject of the study is the children of Tahfidz Kindergarten MQA Banteran, while the object of the research includes the tahfidz learning process and the development of the ability to read the Qur'an. Data was collected through observation of learning activities, interviews with kindergarten principals, teachers, and documentation. The results of the study show that the application of DAP through game-based hijaiyah letter recognition activities, muroja'ah with songs, the use of concrete media, and the habit of reading gradually can improve children's ability to pronounce letters, improve letter meaning, and read short verses more fluently. This model also fosters children's sense of joy and motivation in tahfidz.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the role of Arabic in early childhood within the context of millennial Madurese families in Kubu Raya, West Kalimantan Province. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to gain an in-depth understanding of parents’ experiences and practices in introducing and habituating the use of Arabic to early childhood. The primary data was obtained from five millennial Madurese parents who have early childhood in Kubu Raya Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques, supported by secondary data in the form of literature relevant to early childhood education, bilingualism, and Arabic language learning. The data collection process was carried out gradually and continuously throughout November 2025. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that millennial parents in Madura introduce Arabic to young children through various parenting strategies, such as integrating the language into daily activities, modelling behaviour, religious activities, and utilising digital media such as YouTube videos with parental guidance. Arabic is positioned not only as a tool for linguistic mastery but also as a medium for character formation and the internalisation of Islamic values. This study emphasises that the quality of interaction, consistency in parenting, and the family environment are key factors in the successful introduction of Arabic to early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing emotional dependence in early childhood within the Gajahwong School Community in Yogyakarta. A qualitative design was employed, involving four children aged 3–4 years as subjects and parents and teachers as informants. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews, then analyzed thematically by identifying, categorizing, and interpreting emerging patterns, and presented in narrative form supported by previous research.The study's results indicate that children's emotional dependence is influenced by two primary factors: family and socioeconomic circumstances, and psychological factors. Family factors include insecure attachment patterns, insufficiently emotionally responsive parenting, and parents' limited understanding of how to regulate their children's emotions under socioeconomic stress. Empirical findings indicate that children may exhibit behaviors such as prolonged crying when separated from their parents, difficulty adapting in the classroom, a tendency to cling to teachers as substitute attachment figures, and spontaneous emotional reactions when facing problems with peers.In addition, children's psychological profiles are marked by excessive separation anxiety and a limited capacity for independent self-regulation. The intensity and manifestation of these behaviors vary among children, indicating that emotional dependence is not a fixed condition but is shaped by dynamic interactions between family relational experiences and the child's psychological state. Based on these findings, collaborative, context-sensitive interventions are needed, such as parenting education programs attuned to families' socioeconomic circumstances, emotion-regulation training for parents and educators, and adjustments to the school environment to better support children's transitions and emotional adaptation.

Abstract

This study is grounded in the importance of providing quality early childhood education. Quality early childhood education has a positive impact, namely maximizing children’s growth and development and preparing them to enter the elementary school level. One of the efforts to provide quality education is the establishment of Raudhatul Athfal by the government through state Raudhatul Athfal. At the same time, in Indonesia, including West Kalimantan, to date there has not been a single state Raudhatul Athfal. Raudhatul Athfal managed by the state is intended to ensure that the quality of Islamic early childhood education is measurable, standardized, and equitable. This study aims to explore the expectations of teachers and students regarding the establishment of state Raudhatul Athfal, as well as to examine the responses and policies of the Ministry of Religious Affairs at the district/city level in West Kalimantan related to the establishment of state Raudhatul Athfal. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. The key informants of the study consist of officials from the Ministry of Religious Affairs in West Kalimantan, Raudhatul Athfal teachers, and students of Early Childhood Islamic Education (Pendidikan Islam Anak Usia Dini/PIAUD). This study concludes that the establishment of state Raudhatul Athfal in West Kalimantan as an effort to implement quality Islamic early childhood education still has a long way to go due to the absence of policies from the Ministry of Religious Affairs in West Kalimantan regarding this issue, even though at the same time the encouragement and aspirations of teachers, alumni, students, and early childhood education activists for state Raudhatul Athfal are very strong.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of axiological values in the leadership of the principal of Kindergarten Handayani 1 Penajam and its impact on teachers’ work ethic and children’s character development. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving the principal, teachers, parents, and learning activities. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman with triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that the principal’s value-based leadership, emphasizing integrity, empathy, justice, and moral responsibility, contributes to the creation of a humanistic and inclusive school culture. This leadership approach positively affects teachers’ work ethic, reflected in improved discipline, professionalism, and commitment. Furthermore, the integration of axiological values through daily habituation and school–community collaboration supports holistic character development in children, including religious values, honesty, discipline, independence, responsibility, and self-confidence. The study concludes that axiological-based leadership is essential for sustaining educational quality and fostering comprehensive character development in early childhood education.

Abstract

The degradation of Tengka ethical values among the younger generation in Madura highlights the urgency of preserving culture from an early age. English language learning is often separated from local cultural values, which has the potential to weaken children's cultural identity. This study aims to analyze the process of transforming Tengka values (abhental syahadat, asokon pribadi, andhap asor) and find an effective transformation model through the English for Young Learners program for character building in early childhood at RA Sabilillah Sampang. The research used a qualitative case study approach for four weeks in August 2025 with subjects including one principal, four teachers, twenty students in group B, and ten parents. Data collection techniques included non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results of the study produced the BRIDGE (Building Respectful Identity through Dynamic Global Education) Model, which consists of five components: building a foundation of values, reflecting values in language, integrating values and language, developing character, and fostering cultural identity. The data showed that 78% of children were able to use English expressions of politeness that reflected the value of andhap asor, 75% demonstrated self-control (asokon pribadi), and 70% expressed firmness of belief (abhental syahadat). The BRIDGE model offers a systematic framework for integrating local wisdom with foreign language learning in early childhood education.

Abstract

Early childhood creativity is a crucial developmental outcome that can be fostered through the strategic integration of appropriate pedagogical models and digital learning media. This study examines the effect of animated video media on children’s creativity when integrated with Problem Based Learning and Project Based Learning approaches. A quantitative experimental design was employed, and the data were analyzed using analysis of variance to examine both main and interaction effects. The findings reveal that the use of animated video media has a statistically significant effect on children’s creativity within both instructional approaches (p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was identified between the two learning models (p > 0.05), nor was a significant interaction detected between the instructional models and the use of animated video media (p > 0.05). These results suggest that both pedagogical approaches function comparably in supporting creativity development when combined with animated video media. Conceptually, this study reinforces the role of multimedia-supported, student-centered learning environments in early childhood education and contributes empirical evidence to discussions on instructional model equivalence in fostering creative capacities. The findings also provide a theoretical basis for future research on optimizing digital media integration to support creativity development in early childhood contexts.
