Early childhood education is crucial for instilling empathy, tolerance, and social values through
creative methods, while Aceh Flexi School addresses inclusion challenges with teacher strategies
and training to foster harmony. This study examines teachers‟ strategies in fostering tolerance and
the challenges faced in the learning environment. Using a qualitative case study, it explores
teachers‟ methods through interviews, observations, and documentation, validated by source and
method triangulation. Results show teachers use adaptive, contextual, and experiential approaches,
introducing diversity via stories, play, and cooperation. Strategies are tailored to children‟s
character, emphasizing healthy social interaction and positive emotions. Teachers model inclusivity
and fairness, supported by the learning environment and parental involvement. Challenges include
external influences, child conflicts, and limited facilities and training. Children need time to adjust.
Teachers overcome obstacles through restorative approaches, experiential learning, and emotional
support. The synergy among school, children, and community strengthens tolerance practices
despite limited resources. In conclusion, fostering tolerance in children requires adaptive
approaches, direct experience, and environmental support, with active roles from teachers, parents,
and the community to overcome challenges and build inclusive character.
