Abstract
The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus in Indonesia has prompted the government to issue policies that support the prevention of the spread of the Covid-19 virus. This policy affects all age groups including children because this situation requires children to play and learn from home. Limited space for interaction and exploration in children can affect children's development, especially in preschool-aged children who are experiencing rapid development. The purpose of this research is to identify the description of development of preschool children during the Covid-19 pandemic. The type of research used is a descriptive survey with a cross-sectional approach. The instrument used was a developmental pre-screening questionnaire (KPSP). This research involved a number of 159 preschool-aged children in the Srondol Wetan Public Health Center, Semarang City. The results showed that at most the development of children was normal in 108 (67.9%) children, doubtful in 39 (24.5%) children, and possible deviations in 12 (7.5%) children. The most failed question items were in the social and independence sectors, especially in the age range of 42, 48, 54, 60, and 66 months. Parents should monitor and provide developmental stimulation according to the child's developmental stage.
