The validity test was carried out by two experts, the practicality test was carried out by 15 teachers, and the effectiveness test was carried out on group B children at Aisyiyah Kindergarten, Makassar City. The results showed that the learning model that had been developed was declared valid by experts because it was within the interval limit of 3.50 ≤ V < 4.00, and the results of the practicality test showed that teachers obtained the value of ease in implementing the product, while the results of the effectiveness test found that the results of the trial application of the model in as many as five meetings descriptively showed an increase in the character development of students with an average score. Students' ability was 3.7 (very well developed) with a very high category, so it is concluded that the character learning model based on the values of Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyaan is valid and practical and has also been shown to be effective for improving early childhood character.
