This study aims to determine the level of gross motor development in five-year-old children at KB-TK Islam Al-Azhar 14 Semarang. The research employed a quantitative method with a survey approach and utilized the Test of Gross Motor Development–3 (TGMD-3) as the instrument to assess locomotor and object control skills. A total of 23 children participated in the study. Descriptive analysis showed that 1 child (4.3%) was in the very superior category, 10 children (43.5%) in the superior category, 7 children (30.4%) above average, 4 children (17.4%) average, and 1 child (4.3%) below average, with a mean Gross Motor Index (GMI) score of 141.35. These findings indicate that most children were in the above average to superior categories, reflecting a supportive learning environment and structured physical activities. However, the presence of a child in the below average category highlights the importance of early detection and appropriate interventions to support optimal gross motor development.
