INTRODUCTION
Aisyiyah Bustanul Atfal is one of the practices of the autonomous organization Aisyiyah, part of Muhammadiyah, in the school sector, especially in kindergartens.This organization developed in the field of religion, namely the Islamic religion.This form of business practice was established because in the field of education, Aisyiyah has a mission to improve education, develop culture, expand science and technology, and stimulate research (UII, n.d.).
Initially, Aisyiyah founded a kindergarten school with the name Frobel as the school's identity and adapted the Frobel concept which was integrated with monotheism education which was a characteristic of learning at the Frobel school.This was a bold innovation or breakthrough from 'Aisyiyah at that time (Chandrawaty, 2021).Then in 1973 it changed to Bustanul Athfal Aisyiyah Kindergarten until now.
The existence of the Aisyiyah organization has had a good impact on women's empowerment and early childhood education.Through primary and secondary education, which carries ABA Kindergarten, Aisyiyah develops a vision of education with noble morals for the people and nation.With the aim of advancing education and making the nation's life smarter so that Muslim people can be created who are devout, have noble character, are capable, believe in themselves, love their country and are useful to society and are pleased with Allah (Chandrawaty, 2021).
Apart from that, aiyiyah also provides education based on Islam that optimizes all aspects of development.The main education given to children in ABA Kindergarten is the cultivation of monotheism, akhlaqul karimah, al-islam, Muhammadiyah and asisyiyahan as well as developing children's intelligence according to their development.
For this reason, designing learning in ABA Kindergarten must of course be in line with the main educational goals and vision, namely monotheism.Tauhid is the main teaching of Islam; it is a driving force for Muslims in carrying out their activities.The teaching of monotheism is the first science and must be studied by a Muslim.Tuahid is related to the nature of Allah, Allah's names, and attributes, and as a means for a servant to meet Him (Ulum, 2013).
The learning carried out at Busthanul Atfal Aisyiyah Kindergarten is designed to prioritize Islamic religious teachings such as monotheism, akhlakul karimah, al-islam, Muhammadiyah, and aisyiyahan.This teaching of monotheism is the most important thing and is sought to be achieved at each grade level.Memorizing daily prayers, memorizing letters, memorizing hadiths, getting to know the nature of Allah are the materials taught at Busthanul Atfhal Aisyiyah Kindergarten.
The students at Busthanul Athfal Aisyiyah Kindergarten are aged 4 to 7 years, which is classified as an early age.Early childhood is a child who is like white paper or is still pure so that he can be shaped according to parents and educators.Currently, children are also at the golden age.The period of absorbing as much as possible also occurs at an early age where children can absorb and imitate what is taught by the teacher (Montessori, 1946).This rote teaching is carried out through habituation in the morning before entering class and in class during pre-core activities.The habituation method is a learning method that familiarizes a child or student with an activity.This learning is based on behaviouristic theory.In this case, a child is accustomed to doing good deeds.The characteristic of this method is that it is carried out repeatedly more than once (Yeni, 2018).
The habit of memorizing this prayer in kindergarten at ABA Karanganyar Kindergarten uses a singing-based art approach.These prayers are sung and taught to children.Singing is natural for children.With clapping hands, the body sways, children are immersed in pleasure and joy when singing songs (Mulyani, 2016).Singing can provide effective stimulation for memorizing prayers for students at Busthanul Athfal Aisyiyah Kindergarten, KArangnyar.For this reason, this research will describe how to get to know prayer by singing at the ABA KArangnayar Kindergarten.

The habituation method is a process of forming attitudes and behavior that are relatively permanent and automatic through repeated learning.This relative behavior is persistent, generally does not require high thinking functions such as memorizing daily prayers.This habituation process is important in early childhood (Yeni, 2018).Because at this age children are still able to absorb the things that have been given by the teacher.
The basis of this habit is learning the behavioristic law of exercise, namely that the more often a behavior is repeated or trained, the stronger the association will be.The association referred to here is the daily prayer that is practiced during habituation in the morning.
Habituation is done with a singing approach.In the process of memorizing singing prayers, children will be more enthusiastic, and the child's focus will be on the song.Singing is also one way to condition children.By using a singing approach, children will be stimulated in their development and easily interact with their surroundings (Permata et al., 2023).Apart from that, the singing approach was chosen to develop all aspects of child development, namely developing skills, developing language skills, expressions, and emotions as well as social relationships (Cunaya & Watini, 2023).For this reason, this approach was used.Singing is an activity that is liked by young children.In early childhood, singing is an activity that must be done (Suryaningsih, 2015).
Singing is another term for vocal music, it is thought that singing was the first musical medium that humans had.Singing means creating and managing learning using the poetry that is performed.This passes when giving children a habit of daily prayer.This prayer was sung and said to be effective in introducing daily prayer at the ABA Karangnayae Kindergarten.
Singing can be used as a benchmark to determine an individual's skills in obtaining previous information (Hayati et al., 2019).That way, to find out that the child has memorized the daily prayers, you can sing them.Children are skilled imitators.He will enjoy imitating what he sees, hears and feels.Likewise, with singing, children initially imitate and then sing along and memorize it.Singing is a medium for expressing children's thoughts and feelings, therefore singing has a strategic place in children's growth (Mulyani, 2017).
