Abstract: Local wisdom is something very important to be cultivated as an effort to inculcate the values contained in it. This needs to be instilled from an early childhood education. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of learning local wisdom in kindergarten throughout the province of DIY. The research method used is a survey.

Likewise, the introduction of names for nuclear family members, large families, types of work, traditional games, traditional ceremonies, names of animals, plants, and time markers have been well implemented in the process of early childhood learning.
