This study aims to describe the implementation of educational management in early childhood education institutions through field observation at TK Islam Terpadu Mahdi Alif, located on Binjai-Bahorok Street, Dusun III KW. Serdang, Langkat Regency. The school was selected due to its active organizational structure and commitment to improving early childhood learning. The research was conducted over two days, May 27–28, 2025, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the principal and teachers. The observation focused on five main aspects of educational management: curriculum and learning management, human resource management, facilities and infrastructure, financial planning, and the relationship between the school and the parents/community. Findings show that the Daily Lesson Plan (RPPH) is collaboratively developed by teachers and reviewed weekly. Teacher recruitment is adjusted based on educational background and genuine interest in early childhood education, with encouragement to pursue higher qualifications. New teachers undergo a three-month training period under the supervision of senior educators. Financial planning is transparent and discussed in meetings with teachers and the school committee. Parental involvement is active, particularly during major school events such as Independence Day, Teacher’s Day, and religious celebrations. Although the school faces challenges, including a shortage of qualified personnel and limited facilities, its strong community support and collaborative culture offer significant potential for institutional development. In conclusion, TK Islam Terpadu Mahdi Alif demonstrates effective management practices in fostering a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for early childhood learners.
