BACKGROUND
Griya Bestari was established in response to the educational and social challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the rise in gadget dependency and reduced social interaction among children. Located in Dusun Tegal Kalong, Kemuning Sari Kidul, Jember it serves as an alternative space where children can reconnect, learn, and play together in a joyful and meaningful environment. More than just a play area, Griya Bestari encourages children to reflect on the value of each activity they participate in. Its core programs, such as Ahad Sumringah and group study sessions, focus on developing creativity through visual arts and fun, interactive learning, while also nurturing social and emotional growth. Additionally, the space fosters environmental awareness through hands-on experiences like post-learning river visits. With its holistic and community-based approach, Griya Bestari functions as both a creative learning center and a caring environment that promotes personal growth, connection with nature, and a strong sense of community.

AHAD SUMRINGAH
Ahad Sumringah is a weekly program designed as a space for children to express themselves and develop creativity through arts and crafts activities. In this program, children actively participate in engaging activities such as puppet shows, making handicrafts like tissue boxes from cardboard, and free drawing based on their imagination. These activities not only enhance fine motor skills and creativity but also build confidence and communication abilities in a warm and enjoyable environment.
LITERASI LINGKUNGAN
The Environmental Literacy Program aims to instill awareness in children about the importance of caring for nature and their surroundings. Through activities such as reading nature-themed stories, planting trees, and educational walks to rice fields, children are encouraged to learn to love the environment through direct, hands-on experiences. This program complements the learning process at Griya Bestari by not only focusing on developing individual skills but also shaping characters who are socially responsible and environmentally conscious from an early age.
