<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The conduct of children is becoming more negative, and it is difficult for parents to identify the best educational model. The Aceh community possesses a <em>peurateb aneuk</em> text passed down through centuries. The text is assumed to contain character values that benefit the children. Therefore, this study examined the <em>peurateb aneuk</em> text as a comprehensive model of early childhood religious character building. It explains the character education model in the text and shows the conditions of the context. Furthermore, it interpreted language to obtain a model of the formation of early childhood religious character from the text. The result reported the character education model of godliness and aqidah from the <em>peurateb aneuk</em> text. These variables were instilled with the internalization model of tawhid sentences that parents interpret when putting children to sleep by chanting the <em>peurateb aneuk</em> poem. The chant became an intermediate medium for instilling character values in early childhood. Meanwhile, <em>La ilaaha illallah </em>is a tawhid phrase for Muslims with a high religious level used as a model in the cultivation of godliness and aqidah character in children from an early age. The <em>peurateb aneuk</em> activity becomes a madrasah for children to learn tawhid and aqidah.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Character Values, <em>Peurateb Aneuk </em>Text, Religious Education, Early Childhood</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak: </strong><span lang="EN-US">Dewasa ini</span> perilaku anak semakin negatif dan orang tua sulit mencari <span lang="EN-US">model</span> pendidikan yang tepat. <span lang="EN-US">M</span>asyarakat Aceh memiliki teks <em>peurateb aneuk</em> yang telah turun-temurun didendangkan saat menidurkan anaknya di ayunan.
