<![CDATA[The low level of daily prayer habituation among young learners remains a notable challenge in nurturing religious character within kindergarten environments. This community service program aimed to enhance children's skills in memorizing, reciting, and practicing daily prayers using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach at TK Darul Hikmah III, Koto Aur Malintang Timur, Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra. The activity involved 20 kindergarten students as primary learners, alongside teachers as supporting partners. The PAR model was executed across four continuous stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included direct observation, interviews, documentation, and evaluation of student learning outcomes throughout the program. The findings revealed that children achieved marked progress in memorizing, pronouncing, and applying daily prayers during appropriate activities. Interactive instructional strategies comprising storytelling, demonstrations, recitation repetitions, educational games, and direct practice fostered active student participation and provided an enjoyable learning experience. Furthermore, teachers received practical learning media and instructional frameworks to maintain the prayer habituation routine following the project's conclusion. The distinctiveness of this initiative stems from merging the PAR model with early childhood daily prayer routines, enabling dynamic teamwork among university students, educators, and young learners to reinforce religious character. Consequently, this initiative enriches religious education practices and offers a sustainable framework for building positive religious habits in early childhood settings.]]>
