The research aims to test the effectiveness of sensory and sensorimotor stimulation interventions in improving three important aspects of early childhood development: upright sitting posture, focus endurance, and hand-eye coordination. This research uses a quantitative research design with a pretest-posttest design. Eleven children, aged 5–6 years, from Quiver Center Academy Kindergarten in Tangerang participated as research subjects. Data from these three variables were collected through observation and documentation of children's activities before and after the implementation of specially designed sensory and sensorimotor stimulation interventions, conducted five times over two months. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test to ensure statistical assumptions were met. Next, non-parametric statistical tests were used to analyze the changes that occurred due to the intervention. The analysis results showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in all three areas after the intervention. These findings indicate that sensory, sensorimotor, and sensorimotor stimulation are effective in developing upright sitting posture, focus endurance, and hand-eye coordination in early childhood. In conclusion, the routine integration of sensory and sensorimotor stimulation into the early childhood education curriculum and home activities can be a valuable strategy to support children's holistic development.
