Purpose – The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many lives, especially in the field of education. These changes start from the level of early childhood education, elementary education, to higher education. The learning process initially done conventionally in early childhood education has now been transformed into distance-learning or online. This sudden transformation of learning is essential to present an innovative distance learning model in the early childhood education environment. This study describes the distance learning model innovation for early childhood, implemented by PAUD Wadas Kelir, South Purwokerto, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers designed this learning model at PAUD Wadas Kelir by combining fun and unique online and offline learning. Design/methods/approach – This type of research is field research with a descriptive qualitative method. In collecting data, researchers used three methods, i.e., observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used, i.e., reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. Moreover, the validity of the data is tested using triangulation techniques. Findings – The results of this study show that there are ten learning model innovations implemented by ECE Wadas Kelir, i.e., learning with parental involvement, work projects, study visits, quizzes, online learning, creativity competitions, films and videos, creative and interactive stories, recording materials, and learning appreciation. Research implications/limitations – This case study focuses on Early Childhood Education (ECE) learning models applied to early childhood education institutions during the pandemic in PAUD Wadas Kelir, South Purwokerto, but it is unlikely that the situation is different elsewhere because the pandemic is Indonesia and global. Practical implications – This case study demonstrated how the application learning models of ECE during the pandemic are effective for children's growth and development. Originality/value – This paper contributes to knowledge and understanding of applying several learning models for ECE during the pandemic as reference material in implementing the learning process for early childhood.

Peer interactions in early childhood education play a key role in establishing the first structures of social relationships and foundations for future development. Engaging in social exchanges with different people enriches children’s concurrent and future learning opportunities. Building on the importance of diversifying interactions, interactive groups (IGs) are a specific dialogue-based classroom organization format that creates an inclusive learning environment by allocating students to small heterogeneous groups with an adult volunteer per group. This classroom organization format has produced reported evidence of enhancing social cohesion and academic achievement, mainly in elementary education. However, its potential to foster positive peer interactions in Early Childhood Education among disadvantaged children remains unexplored. Therefore, this case study explores in depth the type and frequency of positive peer interactions in interactive groups in a preschool classroom serving mainly Roma and immigrant children with a very low SES. The results show that in this context, children acknowledge each other’s work and provide help, guidance, and solidarity interactions when solving academic tasks. Our analysis reveals that children internalize the rules and functioning of the IG since those aspects emerge in their conversations during the activity. Implications for practitioners and policymakers are also discussed.

Early Childhood Education in coastal areas is different from PAUD on land, this diversity requires a learning model that can bond togetherness indifference, a learning model that instills values and norms in a learning process. This article offers a learning model that fits the characteristics of early childhood in the Pesisir city of Kendari. This model can bring innovative ideas that demand the creativity of teachers and high school authorities involved in making their own decisions, planning, and implementation. It takes a leap to be able to catch up due to the neglect of local wisdom that has experienced many obstacles in the learning process at school.

Therefore, it is necessary to optimize child development appropriately,  and avoid burdening or forcing children. One of the strategies in developing early childhood education is through a music-based learning model.This study aims to describe and analyze how the development of a music-based learning model to introduce letters and numbers in early childhood. This papper is methodologically close to development research or what is commonly called Research and Development.The results of the development of a music-based learning model to introduce letters and numbers in early childhood are a form that is implemented to develop students' knowledge and abilities in recognizing letters and numbers. This research also produces a product in the form of music that can be applied to provide material for introducing letters and numbers to children. Students tend to be more able to understand or recognize letters and numbers using music so that children's abilities and understanding develop more optimal.
