This research analyzes the historical journey and transformation of Aisyiyah I Bukittinggi PAUD (KB) in the implementation of early childhood education based on Islamic values. The findings are expected to provide in-depth insight into the contribution of religion-based education in building a generation with noble character and become a reference for the development of similar PAUD institutions in the future. This research uses a historical approach to study the development of PAUD (KB) Aisyiyah I Bukittinggi, involving four stages: heuristics, source criticism, analysis-synthesis, and historiography. Data was obtained from primary sources, such as founding archives and interviews, as well as secondary sources, such as books and journals. The research results revealed that the Aisyiyah I Family Planning curriculum was developed with reference to Law no. 20 of 2003, Minister of Education and Culture Regulation no. 137 of 2014, and Minister of Religion Decree No. 792 of 2018. Implementation of learning uses a central approach, including IMTAQ, Arts, Natural Materials and Literacy Centers, which aims to support children's spiritual, cognitive, motoric and social emotional development. Real experience-based learning strategies have been effective in instilling Islamic values, improving critical thinking skills, and building children's character. This research also identified several challenges, such as limited supporting facilities, gaps in teacher competency, and varying public perceptions of education based on Islamic values. This study concludes that implementing a curriculum based on Islamic values requires optimal support from various parties, including collaboration between educational institutions and parents, to create a conducive learning environment. This research contributes to the development of a holistic curriculum model based on Islamic values for early childhood education.
