The center must run at least four games for its toddlers to choose. It also accommodates the needs for kids to grow and provides opportunities to explore through the games they play. Thus, center-based learning model is essential in running kindergarten. The study aims at answering questions proposed in the research, i.e. what the philosophical base is when choosing center learning model, how to implement the model in kindergartens, and how successful it is. This is a qualitative study that describes and exposes reality. The reality serves as data about the execution and the steps of the center learning model, and as the progress the children can achieve. The three selected kindergartens adopting the model were TK Aisyiyah 02 Pati, TK Bintang Kecil, and TK An Nismah for they represented three prominent Early hildhood Education schools in Pati and religion in the community ? TK Aisyiyah for Muhammadiyah, TK Bintang Kecil for public, TK An Nismah for Islamic boarding schools. Data collected from observation, interview, and documentation were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusion. Several points could be drawn from the study. First, despite the same model being employed, each school works under different philosophy. TK Aisyiyah 02 Pati went with progressivism emphasizing academic achievement at which cognitive development was observed. TK Bintang Kecil with existentialism and perennialism tended to appreciate individual freedom when exploring their skills while maintaining imlek tradition as their culture. TK An Nismah blended both perennialism and progressivism where Islamic boarding school tradition and culture were to be upheld, teachers were important figures, recent knowledge and science were to be updated. Second, to run the centerbased learning model, four basic elements (i.e. environment, pre-play, play-time, and post-play) were considered. Third, the indication of success was seen from the toddlers? development aspects such as religious moral, motoric, cognitive, language, social emotional, and art. TK Aisyiyah was best at cognitive development, while social emotional independence and religion and moral values were at TK Bintang Kecal and TK An Nismah respectively. The model was proved to be able to improve and support the students? creativity for both boys and girls.
