Overall, three methods were used to obtain inclusive and comprehensive data related to the main aspects of this study, specifically leadership, management, and monitoring. In addition to assisting in the acquisition of comprehensive and thorough data, the use of these three methods allows the weaknesses found in each method to be overcome by other methods. The findings of the study show that for central administration and management, the managers, administrators, educators, and caregivers should clearly understand the concept of organization because the management and the organization have a closely related relationship. Every TASKA/TADIKA requires good management, because, without proper management, various problems may arise in the TASKA/TADIKA. Safety management is important to prevent harm such as accidents, deaths, and injuries. The lack of safety will create a dangerous situation for the children.
