Abstract

This study examines the integration of Hindu values into a love-based curriculum in early childhood education (PAUD) and identifies strategies and challenges in its implementation. The value components integrated are Prema (compassion), Dharma (responsibility), Ahimsa (non-violence), and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (we are brother). The research design used is a case study, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Furthermore, the data is analyzed through the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, with steps of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification, carried out simultaneously Findings show that the integration of Hindu values is applied through a structured curriculum, learning and play activities, in teaching methods, teacher modeling, and the arrangement of a Balinese culture-based school environment. The main strategies include storytelling about Balinese folklore, strengthening values through habits, and teacher role models. The challenges of this strategy include the lack of Hindu value-based teaching materials, inadequate teacher training, and the impact of social media on children's behavior.This research emphasizes the importance of improving teacher competence, developing contextual learning resources, and building strong partnerships between schools and families, as well as maintaining character education based on religious and cultural values.
