Metode yang digunakan dalam layanan ini melibatkan kegiatan dzikir untuk mengembangkan karakter religius anak-anak. Yayasan Nafisa, sebuah sekolah dasar dan mitra dalam layanan ini, berfungsi sebagai tempat untuk program pengajaran kampus. Program ini terdiri dari empat tahap: kegiatan pra-layanan, implementasi, evaluasi, dan tindak lanjut untuk perbaikan. Hasil dari pelatihan ini tampak dalam peningkatan sopan santun anak-anak. Rasa hormat mereka terhadap orang yang lebih tua dan kebiasaan mereka menyapa orang yang lebih tua saat bertemu telah meningkat secara signifikan setelah berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan dzikir. Perbaikan ini menunjukkan pengaruh positif dari kegiatan religius seperti dzikir dalam membentuk karakter anak-anak, sehingga menyoroti pentingnya integrasi pendidikan karakter ke dalam sistem pendidikan. Rekomendasi berdasarkan kesimpulan ini meliputi: 1) memperkenalkan nilai-nilai seperti kesopanan, hormat kepada orang yang lebih tua, dan ketidak-egoisan kepada anak-anak menggunakan cerita atau contoh yang dapat mereka mengerti; dan 2) mendorong orang tua untuk secara aktif mendukung kegiatan dzikir anak-anak mereka di rumah, yang bisa mencakup melakukan dzikir bersama, membaca cerita tentang nilai-nilai karakter, atau berbagi pengalaman pribadi yang relevan.
