The role of early childhood education (PAUD) in the era of globalization is crucial in shaping children's character to be moral and virtuous, creative, innovative, and competitive. PAUD is not merely about improving knowledge and skills related to scientific fields but rather about preparing children to be able to master various challenges in the future. Innovation in PAUD learning is not only related to the use of digital technology, but also includes updating learning approaches, methods, and strategies that are appropriate to the characteristics of early childhood. Systems thinking in PAUD learning is highly relevant because child development is a holistic process. Cognitive, motor, socio-emotional, language, and religious/moral values do not develop separately, but rather influence each other. The program implementation method employs a descriptive qualitative approach, aiming to describe the process of implementing systems thinking in PAUD learning. The implementation of systems thinking at TK IT Asyifaiyah, Kuningan Regency, has a positive impact on the quality of PAUD learning. The implementation of systems thinking has been proven to be able to provide holistic and contextual learning in PAUD so that it has a positive impact on students, including children being more active and critical in asking questions and telling stories, children's social skills developing through interrelated group activities, teacher motivation increasing because they have a more systematic framework of thinking, and collaboration between teachers and parents increasing, especially in supporting thematic learning activities.
