This study used a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to describe the implementation of positive culture at TK Putra II Kota Serang and its impact on children’s habits. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation and interviews. Observation was used to observe daily activities at school, while interviews were conducted with teachers to understand the process of implementing a positive culture. The results of the study showed that a positive culture at TK Putra II Kota Serang includes habits such as giving and returning greetings, patiently waiting for one’s turn, listening to others speak, speaking and behaving politely, caring for others, and maintaining a clean environment. These habits are consistently applied through the active role of teachers as role models, which is the key to the success of implementing these positive values.
