ABSTRACT Learning process Children of kindergarten age tend to get bored easily and must use a different approach, because at an early age children will get tired easily if taught something tire Computers with attractive visual displays, animations, and sounds can make the learning process feel like playing, so that they are more enthusiastic and motivated. to overcome this, it is necessary to create a more innovative multimedia-based teaching system on the material taught must have parameters that are visual, audio and interactive material, so that the material delivered can be easily measured according to learning outcomes, in this study the author tried to use the help of open source applications based on Google Spacess and LMS (Learning Management System) which can be used by kindergarten teachers in the Pangandaran area, by using this Google Spaces assistance, it turns out that teachers can create the same and more interactive teaching material, in the end with the help of digital media, the material can be adjusted to the individual abilities of each child's speed and can be evaluated directly because for example children who have mastered the material can proceed to the next stage, while on the contrary students who are left behind in learning can repeat more relaxedly repeating the learning, then with the help of teachers and the student learning process can be done independently and not limited by time, because the LMS module can be accessed at any time by students. From the results of the training held for 65 kindergarten teachers, 85% agreed that this LMS application was very helpful in teaching and easy to configure and re-develop. INTRODUCTION The computer training scheme for Kindergarten teachers aims to introduce and improve teachers' abilities in using technology to support early childhood learning. But teaching kindergarten students requires a different approach, because children at an early age will tend to absorb a lot of material that is learned and must be taught gradually, material and Course that is taught monotonously will cause children to quickly get bored and tired, to overcome this problem, a different concept of approach and learning system is needed and can be accessed at any time, the best solution is to utilize a learning system with an open source module, namely using LMS, this is to overcome different learning materials, especially for kindergarten teachers, the open source application allows teachers to coordinate with each other and provide an evaluation of what material should be given to students and isn’t boring, where the material is interactive, colorful and responsive, so that the learning objectives are achieved, a training is made. This must be designed to suit the level of understanding and skills of kindergarten teachers who may be limited to technology, this study took a case in the Pangandaran area where this area has the potential and value of tourism that is very marketable and can be included as learning material for kindergarten children, for example, teachers will create material about the introduction of types of sea fish that are worth selling or make an animated film about the importance of preserving the environment, especially related to the fisheries sector, in this material the researcher will also ensure that the material taught is relevant to the context of children's education. One of the benefits is the introduction of the google space and LMS applications is expected to improve collaboration and communication between teachers and students so that there is a common material and learning evaluation between kindergarten teachers, another function of Google Workspace allows kindergarten teachers, especially Camp “anak langit” to collaborate with fellow teachers, parents, or even students in an easier and more organized way. Applications such as Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets allow direct collaboration on the cloud platform, making it easier for teamwork, another benefit is that teachers create lesson plans together, share ideas, or create teaching materials that can be edited together by colleagues, even with the combination of LMS and Google Spaces there is a student and teacher communication forum that will facilitate communication with parents regarding the development of children who can do it directly not only in class but using computer assistance, even parents of students can monitor and see the development of their children in following the learning process directly.

M. E., 2020). According to several previous studies, the use of Google Classroom has simple and easy-to-use features, the menu in this application is widely used to support LMS (Learning Management System)-based lectures, the advantage of using Google Class is that it has easy and convenient settings so that the module upload process becomes more focused according to the syllabus and the material can be accessed by students, in this LMS method the uploaded material system will be auto (...truncated)
