The results indicate that innovative curriculum management was implemented systematically through collaborative planning, active learning execution based on varied methods and concrete media, integration of Islamic character values, and periodic holistic evaluation. This implementation had a significant implication on the improvement of children's learning achievement comprehensively, encompassing cognitive, psychomotor, affective, and social-emotional aspects, while simultaneously forming Islamic character, independence, and creativity as a foundation for entering the next level of education.
