Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Early Childhood Education (ECE) by the community in West Praya Subdistrict, focusing on program planning, implementation, governance, and evaluation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with ECE administrators, teachers, and village officials, as well as through direct observation and document analysis. The findings reveal that ECE program planning in Praya Barat is conducted through participatory mechanisms involving village governments, community members, and institutional managers in developing the vision, mission, and annual activity plans. Program implementation runs effectively, supported by dedicated educators and a conducive learning environment, despite challenges related to limited facilities and infrastructure. Institutional governance is managed transparently and accountably through active community involvement in monitoring and decision-making, while program evaluation is carried out continuously through monitoring of children’s development, institutional review meetings, and feedback from parents. Overall, the implementation of ECE by the community in West Praya Subdistrict reflects strong collaboration among various stakeholders in realizing inclusive, participatory, and sustainable early childhood education services.
