The use of innovative learning media is very important in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) to foster children's interest in learning during their golden age. This study was motivated by the rapid development of digital technology, which requires teachers to have professional competence in operating Information and Communication Technology (ICT). However, a survey at Kuncup Puspita Pleret Kindergarten showed that teachers still predominantly use conventional methods and student worksheets, and have not maximized the use of interactive multimedia in learning. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through direct interviews. The results showed that teachers at Kuncup Puspita Pleret Kindergarten were very interested in learning how to use the Canva application, but previously they had only used it to make greeting posters and had never received any special training. There is an urgent need for learning media that can introduce the surrounding environment, especially maps and historical sites in Pleret District, which have been difficult to explain to children. This media is expected to help teachers create a more interesting and dynamic learning atmosphere and make it easier for children to explore material about their living environment.
