This study aims to identify the training needs of Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in integrating digital-based learning approaches. Despite the availability of digital tools in PAUD Yobel Bersinar Medan, such as projectors and speakers, their effective use in classroom activities remains minimal. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to collect data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that most teachers face challenges in utilizing digital media, designing technology-integrated lesson plans, and engaging children through interactive platforms. However, the teachers expressed strong motivation and readiness to participate in contextual and practical training. The study highlights the importance of need-based training programs tailored to the actual teaching context. These findings imply the necessity for institutions to develop structured and sustainable professional development programs to enhance teachers' digital literacy and pedagogical skills, ultimately improving learning experiences in the digital era.

Excessive gadget use among children in the digital era causes various negative impacts, such as motor development disorders, immune system issues, and reduced social interaction. The community service program at Kampung Lali Gadget (KLG), located in Dusun Bendet, Pagerngumbuk Village, Sidoarjo, aims to reduce children's gadget dependency through a traditional games-based approach and learning by game. The method employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving the community in every stage, from needs identification to evaluation. The results demonstrated positive impacts, including increased social interaction among children, reduced screen time, and heightened awareness of gadget-related risks among parents. Additionally, the program fostered new community structures, such as mentoring groups and local leadership, to support its sustainability. This approach proves that integrating traditional games with innovative learning concepts can effectively address gadget dependency while promoting sustainable social transformation.
