Digital assessment can support systematic monitoring of children’s gross motor development, but its effectiveness depends not only on technological availability but also on system quality, information quality, service quality, and users’ trust. This study examined the relationships among these factors in early childhood daycare settings. A quantitative cross-sectional explanatory study was conducted among 200 users of a digital gross motor development assessment system from 20 daycare centers in Batam City. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. Direct and indirect effects were tested using bootstrapping with 10,000 subsamples. System Quality, Information Quality, and Service Quality were positively associated with User Trust and perceived digital assessment effectiveness. Information Quality (β = 0.352) and User Trust (β = 0.369) showed the strongest direct relationships with perceived effectiveness, while System Quality had the strongest relationship with User Trust (β = 0.467). User Trust significantly mediated the relationships of System Quality (β = 0.172), Information Quality (β = 0.090), and Service Quality (β = 0.056) with perceived digital assessment effectiveness. Digital assessment in early childhood education is more likely to be perceived as effective when it provides reliable system performance, high-quality information, adequate support, and strong user trust. The findings extend the Information Systems Success Model to daycare-based gross motor assessment and highlight the importance of trustworthy, pedagogically meaningful digital assessment systems.
