One of the dimensions that must be restructured in inclusive education is inclusive practices at school. This dimension develops school practices that reflect the inclusive cultures and policies of the school. There have been a lot of inclusive policies rolled out, but in practice, the rule has not been optimal. The research goal is to describe the objective conditions of how playgroup and kindergarten involve inclusive practices. This present research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The participants of the study are all teachers, principals, and administration staff at one of the playgroups and kindergartens in the region of East Jakarta. The developed instrument is the guideline of observation and interview. Its indicator is based on the index for inclusion.
