Emotional intelligence refers to an individual’s ability to recognize, understand, control, and express their own emotions, as well as to understand and respond to others' emotions. This helps people stay calm and focused on finding solutions. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and problem-solving ability among early childhood education (PAUD) teachers at TK XYZ in West Jakarta. The research uses a quantitative approach with questionnaires as the data collection tool, and the data are analyzed using Excel. The emotional intelligence questionnaire contains 28 items, while the problem-solving questionnaire contains 36 items. The study involved all 19 PAUD teachers at TK XYZ, with no sampling as the entire population was included. The results show a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and problem-solving ability among PAUD teachers. Pearson’s correlation test was used to analyze the data, and the correlation coefficient (r = 0.523) was higher than the table value (r = 0.456 for n = 19), indicating that the hypothesis is supported. Therefore, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence is positively linked to problem-solving skills in PAUD teachers. It is recommended that teachers continue to improve their emotional intelligence through seminars, webinars, and workshops, as this can help enhance their problem-solving abilities.
