Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) has long provided free childcare services for students with children. It is a form of institutional support from UNNES that has helped student-parents balance their family and education responsibilities by entrusting their children to a safe environment. They can stay focused on their studies without worrying about childcare during class hours.
One of the main facilities offered is Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Sekar Nagari. This kindergarten provides comprehensive, high-standard early childhood education services. Various educational and developmental activities are held to support children’s growth and maximize their potential.
Parents can register their children directly at PAUD Sekar Nagari UNNES. According to Circular Letter No. B/28477/UN37/RT.02/2024, the facility is for UNNES students with families to help maintain effective teaching, learning, and working activities on campus.
Facilities
PAUD Sekar Nagari UNNES operates primarily during standard academic and working hours, Monday through Friday, from 07:00/08:00 to 15:00/16:00, to accommodate lecture and campus schedules. Supervised directly by the Faculty of Education and Psychology (FIPP UNNES), the facility offers early childhood education services, including Kindergarten (Taman Kanak-Kanak), Playgroup (Kelompok Bermain), and daycare services for infants, toddlers, and young children aged approximately 3 months to 6 years. Its programmes support children’s cognitive, motor, and social development through supervised learning activities, nutritional monitoring, and safe resting environments. These facilities enable student parents and university staff to attend lectures, conduct research, and fulfil their professional responsibilities while their children receive appropriate care.
Regarding admission, PAUD Sekar Nagari provides free childcare services for eligible UNNES students and academic staff, reflecting the university’s commitment to supporting families and facilitating work–study balance. Prospective parents can register directly at PAUD Sekar Nagari by presenting their active UNNES Student Identification Card (KTM), Family Card (Kartu Keluarga), the child’s birth certificate, and a completed registration form.
