Early childhood creativity develops through learning experiences that offer opportunities to independently select, experiment with, combine, and modify materials. Although "loose parts" possess open-ended characteristics, their successful application depends on the teacher's role in designing and facilitating the learning process. This study aims to analyze the teacher's role in utilizing loose parts to stimulate the creativity of children aged 4–5 years and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors at Thariqul 'Ilmi Kindergarten. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving two teachers as informants and 15 children as subjects for observation. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the teachers acted as planners, facilitators, motivators, guides, and evaluators. However, providing overly detailed examples still limited the children's exploration.
