INTRODUCTION
Keywords: One of the major ideas that brought about change in education in Indonesia was initiated by Ki Hajar Dewantara, who is renowned for his concept of the AoTrilogy of EducationAo.
This concept emphasises that education is a collaboration between the family, the school and the community.
Within the school environment, education is closely linked to teaching and learning activities, which form part of the learning process under the guidance of a teacher.
teacher must also be able to adapt to all circumstances.
therefore, they must have an open mindset and be adaptable.
Teachers also play an active role in facilitating and guiding children to become individuals of high calibre, both intellectually and morally.
The instilling of religious values and moral character from an early age is a crucial foundation in shaping a childAos character.
The instilling of religious values and moral character serves as a guiding principle that will shape the childAos personality for the better.
understanding of relationships with fellow human beings, nature, and God needs to be introduced to children from an early age with the guidance of those closest to them.
A relationship with God is not confined to ritual worship but is manifested in daily behaviour, beginning with activities close to the childAos life.
Therefore, cooperation between parents and teachers is required as a supporting force in creating synergy and collaboration to support learning, particularly regarding religious values and moral character.
The researcher conducted this study at RA Muslimat NU 094 because.
Models of parent-teacher cooperation to enhance religious values and moral character In young childrenAe Siti Maisaroh 66 based on observations and interviews, it was found that learning activities and the regular practice of religious activities have enhanced religious values and moral character.
however, due to a lack of alignment and continuity between learning carried out in the school environment and at home, as well as the lack of parental involvement and awareness in supporting their children during the learning process, resulting in an imbalance in the learning process that hinders the achievement of learning objectives.
This has led to children not yet fully understanding and knowing Allah and His creation, as manifested in acts of worship.
Education, according to Ki Hajar Dewantara, is a process of cultural development aimed at fostering the growth of an independent individual as a member of society, in harmony with the three-pronged approach to education comprising family, school and community.
Each of these educational spheres plays a role in influencing a childAos These roles are distributed as follows: 20% from school education, 20% from the wider community, and 60% from family The family, comprising parents, is the first and foremost educational institution (Wahy, 2.
The role of parents as the foundation of a childAos education holds the most significant position, namely nurturing, caring for, and developing.
In nurturing, caring for, and developing a childAos abilities, cooperation with other partiesAi including the schoolAiis essential.
The framework established to support cooperation with the school must be strengthened by maintaining good relations through the Teacher-Parent Collaboration Partnership (TPCP), including: .
open and regular communication through parent-teacher meetings, individual communication, and the use of digital platforms.
parental participation in school activities.
cooperation in learning.
character development.
synergy in addressing issues.
Early childhood education serves as an effort to support growth and development.
One of the key focuses of this development is religious values and moral character (Noer Safitri & Darsinah.
Efforts to build and strengthen religious values and moral character in early childhood must be grounded in collaboration between parents and teachers, serving as validation of the schoolAos vision and mission, which align with parentsAo expectations.
Parents should be aware that educational institutions admit children based on diverse backgrounds and personalities, so that during the facilitation process, these children gain experience in interacting.
A shared understanding must be established at the start of the academic year so that both parties provide support, both materially and spiritually.

Issue 1 | January - June 2015 Ideally, parents and teachers alike recognise that they share the same they are partners in the learning process.
As an initial step, the educational institution establishes a joint agreement regarding the reasons for admitting pupils, taking into account their backgrounds in terms of economic status, education, employment and environment.
With this in place, it is hoped that this initial phase of cooperation will run smoothly, with both parties equally committed to actively engaging in stimulating the childAos growth and development.
This commitment can be put into practice through collaboration during parent-teacher meetings or parenting sessions.
In the next phase, parents can also be involved in the learning process, so that both the school and the family share the same understanding in supporting the childAos growth and development.
Allah states in the QurAoan.
Surah al-MaAoidah, verse 2, regarding cooperation among people:
o AIA a AaOaA a AaOaA a Aue a aO eUae aOA a e AUaA a aAUa e ae a c aoe a O n aO a aUA a aOaUA Aa n au I A AaOoa A Aa a e aUoa a a Meaning: Help one another in righteousness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression.
Fear Allah.
AllahAos punishment is severe.
The concept of the cooperation model between parents and teachers to enhance religious values and moral character at RA Muslimat 094 can be seen from the relevant prior literature review, namely the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.
The Merdeka Curriculum is a flexible curriculum based on character and competencies as well as creativity, which was introduced by the government from the 2022/2023 academic year for early childhood, primary and secondary education.
This curriculum has been phased in through various programmes in early childhood education, primary and secondary schools, with implementation carried out independently, whether through self-directed learning or collaborative This curriculum is planned to be implemented in all educational institutions across the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
