Abstract

Early childhood education is the nation's investment to form a nation of integrity and strong character. Early childhood is a period of growth and development that will determine development in the future. Early childhood is also a golden age for character building, so character education is very important to be implemented from an early age to form a generation of people who have a strong, tough, and intelligent mentality and compete in the global arena. This study aims to describe the implementation of early childhood character education through a psychosocial development approach. The research method used is a literature study. Data was collected through a literature study of relevant studies. The results of the study indicate that for this process to be successful, collaboration between teachers, parents, and the community is needed. Implementing character education at a young age through a psychosocial approach necessitates the involvement of: (1) family; (2) schools; and (3) communities. These three environments, being an integrated whole, help the success of character education in early childhood.
