The Merdeka curriculum at the Pembina 7 Palembang State Kindergarten emphasizes the Pancasila Profile-based approach.

This research uses a case study approach to deeply explore the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum based on the Pancasila Profile at the Pembina 7 Palembang State Kindergarten. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and education staff, and document analysis related to the curriculum and school policies. The analysis was carried out qualitatively to identify successes and challenges in curriculum implementation, as well as its impact on character development and understanding of Pancasila values in early childhood. The results of the analysis show that the implementation of the Pancasila Profile-based Merdeka Curriculum at the Pembina 7 Palembang State Kindergarten has made a positive contribution to the development of character and understanding of national values in early childhood. The conclusion of this study provides a holistic picture of the effectiveness of Merdeka Curriculum in creating an educational environment that focuses on early childhood character building based on elements of religious and ethical values, identity, and basic elements of literacy, mathematics, science, technology, engineering, and art. The implications of these findings can be the basis for further development of early childhood education curriculum and policies.
