Abstract

The present study investigates the implementation of the habituation method as a strategy for developing religious and moral values in early childhood education. The research was conducted at KB Ar Raihan, located in Sribhawono Village, Bandar Sribhawono District, East Lampung Regency, during the 2024/2025 academic year. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that religious and moral values were fostered through structured daily routines such as reciting prayers, greeting practices, short prayer memorization, and behavior modeling focused on politeness, responsibility, and discipline. Teachers played a central role as behavioral models, ensuring the consistency and effectiveness of the habituation process. Notable improvements were observed in children's religious awareness, moral behavior, and independence. Challenges included the lack of continuity between school and home environments and varying levels of parental involvement. These findings underscore the importance of collaborative efforts between educators and families in reinforcing character education from an early age.
