Abstract

Purpose: This study addresses low learning motivation and school dropout risks among children in Sijunjung, West Sumatra, by implementing a non-formal education intervention.

Method: A one-week community engagement program employed participatory methods, including interactive activities in literacy, numeracy, science, and sports, tailored to children's developmental levels; data were collected through observation and interviews.

Practical Applications: The program offers a replicable, community-based model that integrates play-based learning with academic skill-building, providing practitioners and policymakers with strategies to enhance early childhood engagement in underserved areas.

Conclusion: Significant improvements in children's learning eagerness, basic numeracy understanding, and communication confidence demonstrate that enjoyable, structured non-formal education can strengthen educational foundations and potentially mitigate future dropout rates.
