Instilling Pancasila values in early childhood requires methods that are concrete, emotionally engaging, and consistent with children's cognitive characteristics. Storytelling is widely used in early childhood education, yet few studies have synthesised it into an operational learning model. This study aims to formulate a storytelling learning model for instilling Pancasila values in early childhood at KB Al-Kahfi Wahid Hasyim. A qualitative library research design was employed. Data were collected through documentation of 11 books, 18 scientific journal articles, and curriculum and regulatory documents published mainly between 2023 and 2026, and analysed through content analysis consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that (1) the five principles of Pancasila can be translated into age-appropriate behavioural indicators and story themes; (2) previous studies consistently report positive contributions of storytelling to children's moral, social, and national character, although most rely on small samples and short interventions; and (3) these findings can be synthesised into a six-stage model named CERITA (Cermati, Eksplorasi, Ragakan, Interaksi, Tindak lanjut, Apresiasi). The model is conceptual and requires empirical validation through classroom action research or design-based research.
