Childhood is an important period for development and an opportunity to learn and develop motor skills and physical fitness through Movement-based play. This research will develop a play tool, "sandal wayang" (sayang), based on wayang characters, namely the "punakawan" family, to improve the physical motor skills of children with special needs in Inclusive ECE. The development method used in this study is the ADDIE (Analyze, Development, Design, Implementation, Evaluation) model, with data collection through observation, surveys, and interviews. The targets of this development research trial were teachers and students at the Kharisma Sidoarjo Kindergarten institution. The product of this research is a "sayang" game with wayang characters from the Pandawa family (Semar, Petrok, Gareng, Bagong) and Gatotkaca, as well as a guidebook on how to use the "sayang" game. The results of the material and media validation state that the "sayang" game tool that has been developed is suitable for use in learning. The implementation results show that there is an increase in balance and coordination of movements before and after playing "sayang".

The purpose of this study was to develop a storybook containing Mathematics, Existence, Literacy, Engineering, Science, Art, Technology (MELESAT) to improve literacy skills among group B of early childhood education and to test the feasibility of designing a storybook containing MELESAT. This type of research is a Research and Development with Pretest - Posttest One Group Design, using the ADDIE model which includes five stages, namely Analysis, Design, Develop, Implementation, and Evaluate.  Subjects are children aged 5-6 years, including group B early childhood education totally 20. The instrument used a validation questionnaire and literacy tests. Results of this research indicate that the validation of the material obtained 3.04 of 4, validation of book design obtained 2.55 of 4 and validation of the media obtained 2.89 of 4. The effectiveness based on giving pretest and posttest to students totaled 20 subjects. The results showed that the pre-test score of 57% was developing as expected, and 43% was starting to develop. Post-test scores showed 7.5% progressed beyond expectations, 87.5% progressed as expected, and 5% started to develop. Through the content, design, and use of MELESAT books, there is an increase of literacy skills of children aged 5-6 years including group B early childhood education.

Curriculum is dynamic and it needed to change to adjust to the context and goals of the society, however it is also not always easy for teachers who implement the curriculum. This community service activity aims to help PAUD teachers, especially Kindergarten (TK) levels in understanding the existence of curriculum changes, namely the Kurikulum Merdeka so that teachers can understand, plan, and implement learning at the kindergarten level. The target of this community service (PKM) activity is 25 kindergarten teachers in Mojokerto City. The PKM design carried out were: socialization of the independent curriculum and training in preparing activity plans in learning in kindergarten. This community service uses the lecture, discussion, assignment, and simulation methods, this PKM is carried out both online and offline to provide experience in compiling and implementing learning in kindergarten. The results of this PKM can be seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test. Kindergarten teachers in the City of Mojokerto already have knowledge of the Independent Curriculum but not in its entirety. Based on the results of a questionnaire filled out by 25 kindergarten teachers in Mojokerto City, it was found that only 8.7% of institutions had used the Kurikulum Merdeka. 52.2% use a mixed curriculum (50% PAUD 2013 Curriculum and 50% Kurikulum Merdeka). As many as 39.1% still use the 2013 PAUD Curriculum, so it can be concluded from this PKM is the creation of the ability of kindergarten teachers in preparing, planning and implementing Kurikulum merdeka appropriately.
