The implementation of PAUD management commences with a SWOT analysis to identify strengths and weaknesses within the institution. Program and activity implementation should align with the existing conditions and planning documents, such as the RPP. Evaluating the achievement of success indicators for the PAUD program aligns with the desired profile of graduates from these early childhood education institutions.
