Abstract

Early detection and attention are required for early childhood development (the “golden age”) in the 0–6-year-old age group. One of the primary issues in children’s growth and development is improved development. Developmental delays are a problem in Indonesia’s health, affecting about 56.34% of preschoolers. Knowing the anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities of young children in Malang’s rural and urban areas is our main goal. Research methodology: In comparative research with a quantitative approach, survey methodology is mentioned. In order to analyze 20 respondents, each between the ages of 3 and 5, from Hudan Cendikia Kindergarten in urban areas and Al Hidayah Kindergarten in rural areas. Anthropometric measurements, the Gross Motor Development Test (TGMD), and cutting-and-pasting exercises served as the testing tools. Results: It was discovered that both urban and rural populations had thin BMIs, average gross motor skills, and extremely good fine motor abilities. Urban and rural populations also had average gross motor skills. A p-value of 0.049 is obtained for the gross motor test, indicating that there is a difference between the two regions, while a p-value of 0.813 is obtained for the fine motor ability measurement test, indicating that there is no difference between urban and rural areas based on BMI. This indicates that exams taken at kindergartens in Malang’s urban and rural areas had identical results.
