Abstract

Child development is one of the factors that must be considered in improving a country's education. The level of maturity of human resources is able to maximize starting from childhood. The guidebook of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemendikbud RI) in 2018 contained six indicators to assess children's learning ability, namely: 1) Moral, 2) Social, 3) Language, 4) Cognitive, 5) Motor, and 6) Art. This study implements these indicators to evaluate children's growth and development. The evaluation method uses the Weighted Product Method (WPM). WPM provides a ranking of the result of the evaluation. In addition, WPM also has an assessment of Beneficial and non-beneficial as a more relevant assessment between indicators. Data were collected by questionnaire at kindergarten schools with the respondents' age average of 5-6 years. The results will be calculated with indicators criteria weights given. The test results recommended for students between 0.65 to 0.62 are as follows: Mahmud, Diko, Cindy, Denny, and Riko. The kindergarten manager can use these recommendations to increase the student's aptitude.
