Raudhatul Athfal Ummi abbreviated as RA Ummi is a formal education institution preschool for early childhood education ie age 6 years or under it, this is similar to kindergarten, located at Gampong Mesjid Aree, Jln Mesjid No.5 Kp. Aree, Kec. Delima, Kab. Pidie, Aceh. An educational institution under the Yayasan Ummi (Ummi Foundation) as it appears on the board name.
On January 22, 2018, I took the time to attend activities in the environment of these institutions, ranging from morning gymnastics to rest time, I caught the several expression moments in the photoshoot.
In the morning before entering the classroom, kindergarten students are lined up outside the room to be guided with advice on the goodness of nature, morals, etiquette, courtesy, by the organizers who are accompanied by their respective classroom teachers. Afterwards, the students do gymnastics morning guided by their respective classroom teachers, then they are welcome into their own classroom.
In the classroom, the teacher facilitates student development by giving less freedom of play while learning, learning to balance and playing in the classroom or outdoor class related to motor skills that are constantly being encouraged for its development.
Students taking advantage of breaks outside the classroom by playing and cleaning the environment.
According to my observations there, some of the infrastructures of teaching and learning activities look below standard such as educational institutions located in the city. Understandably, the location of these educational institutions includes being in the hinterland of Pidie Regency, Aceh.
Despite the limited facilities to support the smoothness of teaching and learning, it has not affected the students' excitement to continue learning. The managers of these educational institutions provide information "science is the main, the limitations of facilities are the next thing, for now, this is our ability to educate generations useful for the future".
