Using a qualitative approach, the study involved a community engagement program in Harapan Bangsa PAUD, East Java, Indonesia, to introduce the use of Microsoft PowerPoint to teachers. Interviews, observations, and event documentation provided data for descriptive analysis. The program improved teachers' ability to experiment with new and interactive educational material, according to the findings. Community involvement programs improve early childhood education and promote the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, according to participants and the PAUD Harapan Bangsa. This study highlights the potential of using technology, specifically Microsoft PowerPoint, in early childhood education, and the importance of community engagement in promoting innovation and improving education quality.Highlights: Microsoft PowerPoint as a learning medium for preschool children Community engagement programs to explore innovative learning media ICT incorporation in early childhood education Keywords: Early childhood education, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Learning Media, Microsoft PowerPoint, Community Engagement.
