Neuroeducation in Early Childhood Education: A Neuroscience Approach to Optimizing Cognitive Development in Young Children
type: item
description: Early childhood represents a critical period of brain development characterized by high neuroplasticity, during which neural connections rapidly form and are highly responsive to environmental stimulation. Neuroscience research emphasizes that appropriate learning experiences during this “golden period” can significantly influence children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. However, many early childhood education practices still lag behind advances in neuroscience, creating a gap between scientific knowledge about how the brain learns and classroom practices. This study aims to analyze how neuroeducation, as an interdisciplinary approach integrating neuroscience and education, can optimize cognitive development in early childhood education. The research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review of accredited scientific journal articles related to neuroscience, neuroeducation, and early childhood learning. Data were collected from relevant academic publications and analyzed using qualitative content analysis and conceptual synthesis techniques. The findings indicate that neuroeducation-based learning strategies such as play-based learning, music activities, socio-emotional learning, and early numeracy stimulation contribute significantly to strengthening neural connectivity and improving children’s executive functions and cognitive abilities. However, the implementation of neuroscience-informed practices remains limited due to insufficient teacher training and the persistence of traditional pedagogical approaches. The study concludes that integrating neuroeducation principles into teacher preparation and curriculum design is essential to effectively utilize the sensitive period of early brain development and support optimal cognitive development in young children.

Breakfast Habits of Early Childhood Education Students: A Community-Based Poll Among PAUD Practitioners on WhatsApp
type: item
description: Irregular breakfast habits in early childhood may adversely affect physical growth and cognitive development. This study aimed to describe breakfast patterns among early childhood education students (PAUD) based on direct observations by educators. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, involving 234 PAUD practitioners in West Java through a WhatsApp-based community. Data were collected using a single closed-ended question distributed to all community members and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. A total of 116 valid responses were obtained. Results showed that 68 participants (58.6%) reported that almost all children had breakfast every day, 45 (38.8%) stated that most children had breakfast but not daily, and 3 (2.6%) indicated that many children arrived without breakfast or had only a drink. None of the respondents reported uncertainty or a lack of observation. These findings suggest that although a majority of children maintain regular breakfast habits, a substantial proportion still demonstrate inconsistency. Community-based digital observation allowed for rapid and contextually relevant field data collection. The results may serve as a foundation for promotive and preventive interventions through nutrition literacy and healthy breakfast campaigns in PAUD settings.

Parental Communication Patterns and Their Impact on Early Childhood Social Development
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze parental communication patterns and their impact on the social development of early childhood. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Research informants consisted of parents of early childhood children and teachers as data support. Data were analyzed using the Miles & Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that parental communication patterns have a significant influence on children's social development. Democratic communication patterns have been shown to support children in becoming self-confident, sociable, cooperative, and empathetic. Conversely, authoritarian communication patterns make children tend to be obedient but passive, while permissive patterns result in children who lack discipline and have difficulty sharing. Mixed communication patterns indicate inconsistent social development. In addition, nonverbal forms of communication (such as hugs, facial expressions, eye contact) play an important role in building a child's sense of security. This study emphasizes the importance of quality communication within the family to support the social development of early childhood in the digital era.

Transformation of Early Childhood Education: Integrating Technology in Early Childhood Learning
type: item
description: This study aims to identify, analyze, and summarize the findings of various previous studies on the use of technology in early childhood education (ECE) through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. This method was chosen because it provides a comprehensive understanding by reviewing various relevant articles, journals, and research reports. The SLR process begins with the identification of inclusion and exclusion criteria, which are used to select the studies analyzed. Data were collected from various sources such as academic journals, conference articles, and research reports in the last five years. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of technology in supporting early childhood learning, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by educators in integrating technology into the ECE curriculum. The results of the study indicate that technology has great potential to transform ECE education, increasing children's engagement, creativity, and learning abilities. However, the success of technology integration is highly dependent on the readiness of educators to utilize technology effectively and adequate access to technological devices. Therefore, educator training and the provision of appropriate infrastructure are essential to maximize the benefits of technology. Further research is needed to explore the best strategies for integrating technology into the ECE curriculum and to identify policies that can support the widespread implementation of technology in the ECE sector.

The Importance of Holistic Education for Early Childhood: Integrating Cognitive, Emotional and Social Aspects
type: item
description: Early childhood education (ECE) plays a fundamental role in children's development, which is not only limited to cognitive aspects, but also includes emotional and social development. Holistic education at an early age integrates these three aspects simultaneously, giving children the opportunity to develop optimally in various dimensions. Thus, a holistic approach in early childhood education is considered crucial in creating a strong foundation for further development. This article aims to analyze the importance of holistic education, as well as how the integration of cognitive, emotional, and social aspects can affect children's overall development. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research approach, this article examines various previous studies on holistic education for early childhood, focusing on the relationship between education that emphasizes cognitive, emotional, and social development. This study shows that the integration of these three aspects not only enriches children's learning experiences but also plays a role in improving their psychological and social well-being. Therefore, holistic education is a very relevant model to be applied in early childhood education institutions to support optimal development in the future.

Implementation of Religious Moderation Values in Early Childhood (Research at Joy Kids Kindergarten Tawang District Tasikmalaya City West Java)
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the implementation of religious moderation values ​​in early childhood at Joy Kids Kindergarten, Tawang District, Tasikmalaya City, West Java. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study, which allows for an in-depth understanding of the process, meaning, and context of implementing religious moderation in an early childhood education environment. The subjects of the study included teachers, principals, and parents of students who were selected purposively based on their direct involvement in the learning process and management of character values ​​in schools. Data collection techniques were carried out through participatory observation, documentation studies, and interviews to obtain a comprehensive picture of learning strategies, social interactions, and school culture that support the internalization of moderation values. The results of the study showed that the implementation of religious and socio-emotional moderation values ​​in early childhood was effective with a play approach that was in accordance with the child's developmental stage (developmentally appropriate). The golden period of social imitation was utilized optimally, where teachers and peers acted as role models in instilling attitudes of tolerance, empathy, and anti-violence. The role of teachers as active facilitators and examples of polite language are key factors in the success of moderation learning, although further training is still needed so that the application of moderation values ​​is not merely symbolic. In addition, the aspect of acceptance of religious traditions and rituals needs to be strengthened so that children can appreciate diversity more deeply. Thus, Joy Kids Kindergarten has succeeded in creating an inclusive and harmonious learning environment, but it still needs to develop a program to strengthen traditions and increase teacher capacity so that moderation values ​​can be embedded comprehensively in children's characters.
