Early Childhood Education is a fundamental phase in the formation of a child's character and basic skills. This period, known as the golden age, is crucial for providing appropriate stimulation so that all aspects of a child's development can develop optimally. The limited learning resources at the Bajo Sayang Early Childhood Education on Boleng Island, West Manggarai Regency, drove the need for innovative, simple yet meaningful learning media. This community service activity aims to implement interactive storytelling as a learning medium that can stimulate the cognitive and social-emotional aspects of early childhood. The implementation method used a participatory and interactive approach, where children are actively involved through questions and answers, emotional expression, and supporting activities such as singing and dancing. The results of the activity indicate that the interactive storytelling method can improve children's concentration and courage in expressing opinions. Furthermore, children also demonstrate a better understanding of basic emotions such as happiness, sadness, and anger, as well as increased empathy for the story characters.

This community service activity was carried out to support and strengthen the role of Sunday school teachers in fostering the social and emotional development of preschool children. Early social experiences generally begin in the family, but schools and religious education institutions also play a significant role in shaping children’s abilities to interact, share, and communicate effectively. The program was implemented at PAUD Arastamar Kids Pekanbaru through participatory activities that involved teachers and children. The approach emphasized interactive methods such as giving praise, teaching simple religious values, playing games, and organizing creative learning activities. Examples included origami-making, group singing, storytelling, and encouraging children to share crayons or toys with their peers. These activities not only created a fun and engaging learning atmosphere but also helped children develop empathy, cooperation, and independence. Teachers were guided to consistently integrate these activities into their routines to maximize the positive outcomes. The results of this service showed that Sunday school teachers could effectively encourage positive social-emotional growth by combining religious teachings with play-based and interactive learning. In conclusion, the program provided valuable contributions to strengthening the capacity of teachers while creating a supportive environment for children to interact positively and independently with others.
