The growth of preschool educational institutions focused on intelligence without considering the emotional and spiritual quotient has influenced parents' opinion that a qualified child is a child who is highly intelligent. They did not consider the children' character education. Thus it is not surprising that today's children tend to be violent. This study tries to offer a learning model in which a character educations designed for three age groups, which are childhood, youth, and adulthood, using materials refer to the prophetic character: Siddiq (truthful), Amanah (trustworthy), Tabligh (deliver) and Fatonah (smart). With examples of the prophet's commendable behaviors and having taught from the early childhood, children are expected to follow the prophet' example so that they have a well-mannered, self-confidence, persistent, and intelligent character; in which have been built since childhood. The phasing of character education aims to form the child' soul to mature, having dominant maturity traits and emotionally stable as the form of children's rights assurance. There are three influential components in character education: house, school, and environment, in which those three components each has an inseparable role. By guaranteeing that the three components can work well, instill the positive character to children is a form of child rights guarantee.
