<![CDATA[Early Childhood Education (ECE) represents a strategic golden age period for fostering children's character and spirituality based on Qur'anic values. The rapid advancement of information technology has created both opportunities and challenges for character education among Generation Alpha. This study aims to analyze the utilization of information technology in optimizing Qur'an-based educational methods, namely exemplary behavior (uswah), storytelling (qashash), and habituation (‘adah) in early childhood education. This study employed a qualitative approach using library research and content analysis of reputable scientific articles indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar published within the last five years. The findings reveal that interactive digital media strengthen the exemplary method by presenting positive role models and moral decision-making simulations. Digital storytelling enhances children's emotional engagement and long-term retention of Qur'anic values without compromising the authenticity of the teachings. In addition, gamification-based applications support the habituation method through digital reward systems that encourage consistent positive behavior. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the pedagogically appropriate integration of information technology grounded in Qur'anic values effectively optimizes the implementation of exemplary behavior, storytelling, and habituation methods in early childhood education. This integration contributes significantly to strengthening children's character, spirituality, and readiness to navigate the challenges of the digital era.]]>
