Abstract
This study aims to determine the role of a Child-Friendly School (CFS) environment in shaping the character of children at the Pembina Banjarmasin Timur State Kindergarten. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study and data triangulation analysis. The research subjects include educators, educational staff, and early childhood children. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of a child-friendly school environment played an important role in (1) implementing child-friendly learning processes, (2) training educators and educational staff, (3) providing supportive infrastructure, (4) increasing children's active participation in learning activities, and (5) strengthening communication between parents and community institutions. SRA also contributes to the formation of positive character traits in children, such as independence, discipline, and responsibility, and has a positive impact on academic aspects in the form of increased motivation and learning achievement. Thus, the implementation of Child-Friendly Schools can shape noble character through collaboration between schools, families, and the community.
