Student Management in Early Childhood Education : A Case Study of Hevea Kindergarten

Abstract

Management of student is a systematic process of organizing all activities related to students and other resources to achieve educational objectives effectively and efficiently. This article aims to describe the student management process at Havea Kindergarten, encompassing the stages of planning, student recruitment, learning implementation, evaluation, and graduation. This qualitative research was conducted through direct observation, interviews with educators, and documentation analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that Havea Kindergarten has applied sound management principles, such as age-based student grouping, diverse evaluation methods (observation, interviews, and portfolios), and a structured record-keeping system using parent and alumni books. However, the integration of technology in the planning stage remains limited. This study confirms that integrated and effective management creates a supportive learning environment that optimizes student potential development.
