<![CDATA[Instilling the values of religious moderation from an early age is a strategic step in forming a tolerant and inclusive character in children. This study aims to describe the introduction of houses of worship as a medium for learning the values of religious moderation in group B students in Kartika XX-12 Kindergarten. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Introduction activities are carried out through various methods, such as illustrated stories, virtual visits to houses of worship (mosques, churches, temples, and monasteries), and simple discussions tailored to the child's developmental level. The results of the activity showed that children began to get to know various types of houses of worship along with their social functions and noble values contained in them, such as mutual respect, empathy, and coexistence in differences. The child's response was very positive, shown by high curiosity and the ability to correctly pronounce the names of houses of worship and related religions. Teachers play an important role as facilitators in guiding discussions and directing children's understanding in a moderate and inclusive direction. In conclusion, the introduction of houses of worship is effective as an educational means of instilling the values of religious moderation in early childhood. This activity also supports the development of character values by the Merdeka Curriculum (an Indonesian Curriculum), which emphasizes the importance of tolerance and diversity. ]]>
