Ready Little One Education Program: Strengthening the Capacity of Teachers, Children, and Coastal PAUD Communities for Tsunami Preparedness Through Play-Based and Participatory Approaches

The program strengthens disaster preparedness in coastal PAUDs in Aceh Timur by integrating play-based tsunami and coastal-flood drills into daily early-childhood learning. It builds teacher capacity and reduces child vulnerability through training, inclusive evacuation planning, and providing equipment such as safe-route maps, child-level signage, and emergency kits. Community readiness is enhanced through parent engagement, joint simulations, and inclusive measures prioritizing children with disabilities and low-income households.
