As part of its continuous efforts to improve the quality of childcare services and family support, the Family Wellness (FW) educator team carried out an educational visit to KB/TK Al Biruni Aria Graha, Bandung, on Saturday (5/7). The activity involved nine Family Wellness educators and aimed to conduct benchmarking, identify best practices, and build professional networks with early childhood education providers.
Through this initiative, Family Wellness sought to compare services, facilities, and operational management applied by other daycares in order to gather valuable references for developing a more adaptive internal system that meets user needs. The benchmarking process also created opportunities to review innovations in curriculum design, caregiving approaches, and the use of technology to holistically support children’s growth and development.
In addition, the educators identified best practices successfully implemented at KB/TK Al Biruni, ranging from child safety measures and active parental involvement to professional teacher management systems. The insights gained from this visit will serve as an important reference in designing childcare and parenting support programs within Family Wellness FISIPOL UGM.
The activity also served as a momentum to establish strategic partnerships with similar institutions, particularly in training, information exchange, and human resource capacity building. Direct observations of the learning environment and operational systems provided highly valuable insights for continuous service development.
This step reflects Family Wellness FISIPOL UGM’s strong commitment to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). By enhancing service quality and strengthening inter-institutional collaboration, Family Wellness aims to continue providing optimal support for children and families, while contributing to the creation of an inclusive, safe, and empowering environment.
