Presenting Taman Asuh Sayang Anak (Tamasya) in Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas in Surabaya

Abstract

BPS data from 2024 states that 50.73% of women in East Java work as professionals, while in Surabaya the figure is 48.97%, thus affecting the quality of childcare. Therefore, Taman Asuh Sayang Anak (Tamasya) program is crucial to addressing childcare issues. The Tamasya quick-win program is designed to provide integrated childcare services and monitor child development. In Surabaya, there are currently 54 childcare centers, managed by individuals, community organizations, foundations, companies, and ministries/institutions. Meanwhile, Surabaya has 153 Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas spread across 153 sub-districts. However, currently, these childcare centers in Surabaya have not been integrated with the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas. Integrating Tamasya with the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas in Surabaya is crucial given the benefits they offer, including improving the quality of life of the community through education and positive character building; serving as a platform for community empowerment, especially for families; and encouraging the community to actively participate in various activities within the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas. With the introduction of the Tamasya, programs and activities in the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas will become more complex and require greater resources. Therefore, cross-sectoral convergence needs to be strengthened to realize an inclusive, community-based Tamasya in the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas.
