Discipline is an important character value that must be instilled from an early age to shape children's ability to control themselves and understand behavioral boundaries in their social environment. This study aims to describe teachers' strategies in instilling discipline in early childhood at KB Dwi Kurnia, Group B (ages 5–6). This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with direct observation and documentation as data collection techniques. Results show that teachers apply daily routine habituation, cues/cheers as activity transition signals, verbal delivery of rules, gradual reprimands, and positive reinforcement. This combination of strategies proved effective in shaping children's disciplinary habits, reflected in most children's compliant attitude toward the applied rules. This study is expected to serve as a reference for early childhood education institutions in developing discipline strategies suited to children's developmental stages. Furthermore, the successful implementation of these strategies is supported by teachers’ consistency in providing role models and creating a structured and enjoyable learning environment. The findings also emphasize the importance of collaboration between teachers and parents to ensure that disciplined habits are developed consistently and sustainably, both at school and at home.
