Abstract

Early childhood education plays a crucial role in the development of children's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills. It is during this period that children begin to learn about the world around them and develop important life skills. The cultivation of good character in early childhood is essential for children to adapt to their environment, have good social relationships, and make responsible decisions. The research aims to explore the strategies used in early child education institutions to instill character values in young children and to understand the role of early child education in character development. The study also investigates the challenges faced by early child education institutions in character development and proposes solutions to address these challenges. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. The study identifies effective strategies employed by ECE institutions for character development, such as habituation, role modeling, storytelling, games, and songs. These strategies have successfully instilled positive character values in children, as evidenced by their disciplined, responsible, and cooperative behavior.
