This development effort can be done in various ways including through determination of interest. to facilitate the teachers in the process of determining a variety of different interests in each child such as constructive play, sports, exploring and entertainment, a decision support system application is needed. The decision support system analysis of determining the child's interest is carried out using the Forward Chaining method. In this application, the method is then translated into software. The software used for the grouping of areas of interest is based on data from the characteristics of each child which is then included in the rules that are made so that there will be some conclusions about each of these children. The existence of this application can help teachers in determining various kinds of interests and language progress in children.
