Unfortunately, the education system in Indonesia,
especially for the initial level is considered not
enough to pay attention to the value of entrepreneurial
learning. The orientation of municipal learning in
educational institutions in Indonesia is limited to the
theoretical level only. The method of learning is still
not able to build and create the character of a tough
businessman (El Khuluqo, 2016).
Implementing the entrepreneurship education
especially in early childhood is not just teaching
children about how to do business or make them as
businessmen or entrepreneurs, but they are trained to
have a strong mental and characters. This is supported
by Do Paço and João Palinhas (2011) whose study
shows that it is important that entrepreneur-ship
education is implanted in children because it aims to
in still and develop personal characteristics.
At the pre-school level, the instillation of
entrepreneurship can be integrated with themes in the
school curriculum used. Teachers can plan the
learning that can indirectly shape the mental and the
characters.
TK Khalifah is one of kindergartens in Serang that
includes entrepreneurship in their school materials.
To foster the entrepreneurial spirit, they uses various
learning methods such as class outing, market day,
cooking day and so on. With their mission, they want
to provide educational and nurturing materials based
on tauhid by growing entrepreneurial spirit from an
early age as well as to provide friendly facilities with
a touch of affection according to the growth of the
child's age so that the child's development will be
optimal in golden age.
Based on the above explanation, this research will
analyze and identify how the entrepreneurship
learning is implemented to the children in TK
Khalifah of Serang through activities designed by the
teachers.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Early Childhood Education
Early childhood is children aged 0-6 years old and in
the golden age, where the development of the child's
brain reaches 80% of the overall brain development
until adulthood later (Suyadi, 2014).
Furthermore, in Law on the National Education
System No. 20 of 2003 states that Early Childhood
Education is a coaching effort aimed at children from
birth up to the age of 6 that is done through the
provision of educational stimuli to assist growth and
physical and spiritual development so that children
have readiness to enter further education.
Early childhood education is the first and fore-
most part of the children's development in terms of
character, physical, cognitive, linguistic, artistic,
social, emotional, spiritual, self-discipline, self-
concept, and self-reliance. Therefore, it is necessary
to set up the right environment so that it can provide
an opportunity for children to explore various
experiences with different situations and it is also
necessary to pay attention to the uniqueness of
children and it should be adjusted to the stage of
development of the child's personality.
Early childhood education can serve as a mirror
to see the success of children in the future. Children
who get good educational services from an early age
have a greater hope in achieving success in the future.
On the other hand, children who do not get ad-equate
educational services require considerable struggle to
develop their success (Mulyasa, 2012).
2.2 Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the creative and innovative
ability that is used as the basis, tips, and resources to
find opportunities for success. The essence of
entrepreneurship is the ability to create something
new and different through creative thinking and
innovative action to create opportunities (Suryana,
2006).
In the past, entrepreneurship was deemed to be
done only through direct experience in the field and
was an innate talent so entrepreneurship could not be
learned and taught. Now that understanding has
changed. Entrepreneurship is a separate discipline
because it contains a complete and real body of
knowledge which has objects, concepts, and methods.
The discipline of entrepreneurship has rapidly
grown. Initially, entrepreneurship was applied in the
field of trade, but later it developed in other fields
such as industry, government, health, and education.
