The results of this research describe that character education through the nine pillars of character at the Dharma Wanita PBB Sukoanyar Kindergarten has been implemented, but is not yet effective because in the learning planning and form of activities there are character pillars that have not been included in the RPPH so they have an impact on character. Where children are found who don't line up, throw rubbish carelessly, don't queue to wash their hands, don't shake hands, don't return toys, and like to fight.
