This study aims to evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a local culture-based experiential learning model designed to enhance the Pancasila character of early childhood students. Despite the growing need for character education in Indonesia, there is a gap in culturally relevant, effective models for young learners. Using a research and development approach, the study involved expert validation, user testing, and an effectiveness trial at RAMA Kindergarten in Makassar. The model was found to be valid, with expert evaluations scoring between 3.61 and 3.69. Practicality tests indicated ease of implementation by teachers, while effectiveness trials demonstrated significant improvements in the development of Pancasila character traits, such as faith, noble morals, global diversity, cooperation, independence, critical thinking, and creativity. The findings suggest that the local culture-based experiential learning model is effective in fostering these values in early childhood education, offering a promising approach for character development in young learners.
