Abstract

Along with the times, so do science and technology. This condition is the closeness of every human being to adapt to these conditions. One of the important things that must be done is to develop children's creativity from an early age. This creativity will further develop along with the development of children who are gained from the experience of learning from their interactions with the environment around the exploration. In this regard, the authors conducted research with the aim of seeing how to develop early childhood creativity through exploration methods at TK Darul Amal Kecamatan Panca Jaya. This type of research is descriptive qualitative by extracting data using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that TK Darul Amal Kecamatan Panca Jaya developed children's creativity with the environment both inside and outside the classroom through concrete objects by seeing and understanding them. The method used to encourage creativity with the exploration method is to use the APE (Educational Game Tool). Besides applying direct learning, namely planting rice in the fields, seeing chickens in cages and how to care for them, seeing fish in fish ponds, providing games in the school yard such as globe, seesaw, slide, trowongan, chain bridge, and sand trash cans. . Even every few months, TK Darul Amal Kecamatan Panca Jaya holds field trips, namely visiting the zoo and holding outbound activities. Through these activities, they are able to foster curiosity, learn to be more focused, quickly grasp the material presented by the teacher, and children are active and critical of the objects they see.
