This study aims to explain the effect of the Picture Science Story Game App (PSSGA), integrated with Minangkabau local wisdom, on the science process skills of early childhood learners. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest group design. The sample consisted of 58 early childhood students divided into two groups: the control group and the experimental group. The control group received instruction using picture media, while the experimental group was taught using PSSGA media. The research instrument used was an observation sheet, and data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The findings revealed that the p-value was less than 0.05, indicating that learning with integrated PSSGA media was more effective than learning with picture media. The effect size for the experimental group was 0.855, suggesting a large effect. Thus, the integrated PSSGA media incorporating Minangkabau local wisdom proved to be effective in enhancing early childhood science process skills. © 2025 by the authors.
