The management and development of  Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten (TK ABA) Cairo is still needs to be improved. Meanwhile, currently the ABA Cairo Kindergarten is the only Indonesian private kindergarten in Egypt and is a reference for early childhood education for the Indonesian people in Cairo. The fundamental problem faced by ABA Cairo Kindergarten is that it doesn’t have a standard curriculum document that promotes the advantages and characteristics of the stake holders in the education unit. The purpose of this International Collaborative Community Service (PkM-KI) activity is to assist in the preparation of curriculum documents that are adapted to the spirit of an independent curriculum. This PkM implementation method uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, by actively involving partners in the participation and action dimensions. The target for the implementation of this PkM is the compilation of the ABA Cairo Kindergarten curriculum document. The result of this PkM KI is the arrangement of curriculum document which was legalized by the competent authority.
