Abstract

This study aims to develop a differentiated play-based learning model to strengthen inclusive early childhood education in Kepulauan Seribu. The initiative emerged from challenges identified in implementing inclusive practices, where teachers often struggle to accommodate diverse developmental needs, interests, and learning profiles. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research integrates theoretical analysis, contextual exploration, and principles of instructional design. Findings reveal gaps in teacher competence, limited inclusive learning resources, and the absence of structured play-based models that support differentiation. The proposed differentiated play-based learning design emphasizes integrating children’s readiness, interests, and learning profiles into joyful and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. This model is expected to help teachers create flexible and inclusive learning environments that honor the diversity of children in early childhood settings in Kepulauan Seribu. The outcomes contribute to strengthening inclusive learning practices and improving teachers’ professional capacity in designing adaptive and child-centered instruction.
