<![CDATA[Zakat is an important component of Islamic teaching that promotes social responsibility, empathy, generosity, and concern for others. Introducing zakat values from an early age can help children develop positive attitudes toward sharing and caring for people in need. The problem addressed in this study is the limited introduction of zakat and sharing values among early childhood children through age-appropriate educational activities. This study aims to examine the implementation of zakat and sharing value education for early childhood children at TK Patria Dharma. This study employed a qualitative empirical approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation of educational activities conducted with the children. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the introduction of zakat values through storytelling, interactive discussions, simple simulations, and sharing activities helped children understand the basic meaning of zakat and the importance of helping others. The activities also encouraged children to develop values of generosity, empathy, caring, cooperation, and responsibility in everyday life. Children demonstrated positive responses by participating actively in sharing activities and showing greater awareness of the needs of others. The study concludes that age-appropriate zakat education can serve as a contextual medium for introducing Islamic values and strengthening social character among early childhood children. Integrating religious education with simple and meaningful sharing activities provides children with an enjoyable learning experience while fostering caring and generous attitudes from an early age.]]>
