Through the application of Information and Education Technology, particularly Mechatronic teaching tools, this research aims to identify the pragmatic development of young children. The CAR (Classroom Action Research) method was used to determine the percentage rate of early childhood pragmatic development. The analytical technique used is observation and documentation, which is then analyzed quantitatively. This study included 20 children (5-6 years old) from TK Labor FKIP of Riau University. The use of mechatronic teaching aids was successful in developing pragmatics in early childhood, as evidenced by 44.64% results in the Starting to Develop category, 52.98% results in the Developing According to Expectations category, and 72.02% results in Developing Very Well. It can be demonstrated that the seven observed indicators can be stimulated adequately so that children's pragmatic development can develop very well.
