Instilling leadership values in the younger generation from an early age is crucial as it equips them with the skills necessary for mastering leadership in the 21st century. This research delineates strategies for developing leadership values in young children within inclusive schools in Bengkulu City. The research methodology is a mixed method, involving data collection through questionnaires and interviews. The study included 71 young children and five teachers as the participants. The findings reveal that the categorization of young children’s leadership profiles in Kindergarten B is as follows: 29.6% in the high category, 62% in the medium category, and 8.5% in the low category. Applying leadership values for young children with diverse backgrounds involves forming habits, creating picket schedules, and engaging in direct practice. Various strategies are implemented to instill leadership values for young children within inclusive schools, including outbound programs, home visits, outings, hacking, training children to accept positions like prayer leaders, and assigning line leaders based on a predetermined picket schedule. © 2024 The Author(s).
