The analysis focused on linguistic aspects, symbols, cultural values, and game practices that involved children's multisensory experiences. The results of the study shown: (1) The perspective of linguistic, the repetitive and rhythmic diction structure in CCS song strengthens the language acquisition enriches the vocabulary; (2) The perspective of anthropology, symbols of movement and lyrics reflect the values of mutual cooperation, compliance with governing norms, and the intergenerational transmission of traditions; and (3) The perspective of learning relevance, practice of singing and playing CCS can be integrated into early childhood education. The latest finding aims to develop cognitive, socio-emotional, and spiritual domains aligned with local culture. The tembang dolanan can be used as a relevant culture-based learning medium in early childhood education. At the same time, tembang dolanan can also help preserve local traditions amid globalization.
