Raudlatul Athfal (RA), as an early childhood education institution, plays a strategic role in shaping the foundation of children’s cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual development. The selection of appropriate learning methods is the key to optimizing children’s potential at the early stages of development. This study employs a library research method, drawing from books, journal articles, and relevant research reports. The findings indicate that play-based learning, storytelling, singing, project-based activities, and Islamic habituation are effective approaches in supporting children’s development in RA. Furthermore, collaboration between teachers and parents plays a crucial role in strengthening learning outcomes.
