Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period that serves as the foundation for children's growth and development, however, the stimulation provided is often not aligned with their developmental needs. This article discusses the role of play-based stimulation in the Rumah Main Amany program at Firdaus Amany Psychological Center, as play serves as an important medium for stimulating children's cognitive, language, motor, social, and emotional development. The community service activity was conducted through participatory observation and direct involvement in play-based classes for children aged 2.5–6 years. The activities included circle time, interactive storytelling, role play, practical life skills, sensorimotor activities, expressive arts, and science exploration. The findings indicate that semi-structured play enhances children's participation, self-confidence, independence, communication skills, and social interaction. These findings highlight the importance of consistently implementing play-based stimulation to support optimal early childhood development. This approach is significant because it allows children to learn naturally while providing a strong experiential foundation for their future development both at home and in educational settings.
