Early Childhood Education plays a crucial role in shaping children's character and understanding of science, including Islamic Religious Education. The Independent Curriculum implemented in PAUD provides flexibility in learning, allowing adjustments to the needs and characteristics of children. This study aims to analyze the application of learning methods in the Independent Curriculum to improve PAI learning outcomes at RA Al Jabbar. With a qualitative approach, this study used observation, interview, and documentation techniques to collect data. The results of the study showed that the play-while-learning method, the project-based approach, and the integration of Islamic values in daily activities were able to improve children's understanding and interest in learning PAI. The play-while-learning method involves interactive activities such as hijaiyah letter puzzles and Islamic songs. The project-based approach allows children to participate in creative activities such as making miniature mosques and drawing stories of the prophets. Meanwhile, the integration of Islamic values in daily activities helps children internalize religious concepts naturally. Thus, the application of this method can be an effective strategy in building a strong religious foundation from an early age
