Pengembangan kapasitas profesional guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) memerlukan program yang responsif terhadap kebutuhan aktual mitra dan memungkinkan penerapan kompetensi secara kontekstual. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas profesional guru melalui pendekatan pengembangan yang partisipatif dan berbasis kebutuhan. Program dilaksanakan bersama Yayasan Rumah Cahaya Empat Ribu (Rumaer) selama tiga bulan, Maret hingga Mei, dengan sasaran sembilan belas guru dalam jejaring mitra. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi analisis kebutuhan, workshop berbasis praktik, pendampingan, penguatan literasi digital, monitoring dan evaluasi, serta refleksi bersama mitra. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kebutuhan lanjutan, fokus solusi pertama disesuaikan dari pelatihan pedagogik berbasis bermain menjadi penguatan kemampuan bahasa Inggris melalui RuMAER TOEFL ITP Preparation Program. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara daring melalui Zoom Meeting dengan fokus pada strategi reading comprehension, meliputi skimming, identifikasi gagasan utama, penelusuran informasi yang relevan, analisis konteks, dan eliminasi pilihan jawaban. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan diikuti oleh Sembilan belas peserta dari berbagai wilayah dalam jejaring Rumaer dan memperoleh respons positif. Pelaksanaan daring juga memperluas jangkauan partisipasi hingga peserta dari luar Kabupaten Tangerang, termasuk Ambon. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa adaptasi berbasis kebutuhan dan pemanfaatan jejaring kolaboratif dapat mendukung pelaksanaan pengembangan kapasitas guru secara fleksibel dan kontekstual. Komponen program lainnya masih dalam tahap implementasi dan evaluasi sehingga efektivitas keseluruhan program belum dapat disimpulkan secara komprehensif.
