This research is motivated by the importance of instilling Al-Qur'an memorization from an early age to build a solid spiritual foundation. However, early childhood characteristics, such as short concentration spans, require specialized teaching strategies to prevent children from feeling pressured. This study aims to describe the tahfidz teacher's strategies in improving Juz 'Amma memorization, the forms of evaluation, and the supporting and inhibiting factors at TK Darul Ilmi Tanah Merah. This study utilized a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects included the principal, tahfidz teacher, classroom teachers, and student parents. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicated that the teacher's strategies were implemented flexibly and humanistically without rigid lesson plans, combining talaqqi, tikrar, audio murottalmedia, alongside child-friendly singing and kinesthetic movements. Memorization evaluations were conducted entirely through periodic oral assessments via daily and weekly deposits, measured by fluency, basic makhraj, and self-confidence. The primary supporting factors were the children's internal enthusiasm, flexible school administrative policies, and parental guidance at home. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors involved children's short attention spans and the lack of repetition (muroja'ah) at home by a few working parents. In conclusion, the child-friendly tahfidz strategy combined with strong synergy between school and parents is proven effective in optimizing children's memorization.
