Community Service, Unipma Pg Paud Lecturers Provide Management Training Towards Child-Friendly Schools In Paud Institutions 

Currently, Child-Friendly Schools (SRA) are being promoted in all Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions in the Madiun district. One of the PAUD institutions that received an SK as a Child-Friendly School is Nur Al Izhar IT Kindergarten. Creating a Child-Friendly School, Kindergarten IT Nur Al Izhar which is located in Kebonsari, Madiun Regency is still experiencing obstacles, especially in the management of becoming a Child-Friendly School.

In this regard, PG PAUD UNIPMA through the community service program or ABDIMAS partners with TK IT Nur Al Izhar to provide management training towards child-friendly schools. The training which is packaged in the ABDIMAS program will be held from May to August 2023.

ABDIMAS PG PAUD UNIPMA in the form of management training towards child-friendly schools (SRA) consists of Child-Friendly School material to equalize perceptions between parents and schools as a whole regarding the concept of SRA, and teacher training regarding management in preparing planning concepts towards SRA. This training is packaged in parenting, discussion and management training in stages.

The ABDIMAS PAG PAUD UNIPMA team consists of PG PAUD Lecturers and Students, namely Dr. Alisa Alfina, M.Pd, Sofia Nur Afifah, M.Pd, and Dr Rosyida Nurul Anwar, M.Pd.I along with two PG PAUD students namely Nur Vita Sari Eka Ramadhani and Renita Luthfiani Putri. ABDIMAS is one of the Three Pillars of Higher Education in the form of the Research Utilization program (PPHD).

The opinion of students' parents when interviewed said that they were happy with this program and hoped that this kind of parenting would be done more often because it provided many positive things for them in raising friendly children. Meanwhile, the principal of the IT Nur Al Izhar Kindergarten, Ika Sri Wahyuni, S.Pd, said she was excited and very happy with the ABDIMAS program.

The next principal of TK IT Nur Al Izhar, who replaced the previous principal because his term of office had finished, namely Mrs. Kusnil Masrurah, S.Pd, said that the existence of ABDIMAS, made them feel more confident in realizing SRA. Because previously they felt worried about the SRA, they didn't know what to do after getting the SRA SK. They feel confident that in the future they can gradually realize SRA as expected.
