Many children have not received correct, whole and complete sex education. Children actually get information about sex from their peers, the internet, and magazines, even though the sources of this information are not necessarily correct and can be accounted for. This study aims to determine the role of teachers in introducing sex education to early childhood at RA Hidayatul Mubtadi'in, as well as to determine the inhibiting factors and supporting factors for teachers. The research method used is a qualitative research method by taking locations in RA Hidayatul Mubtadi'in, Dau District, Malang Regency. Data collection is done through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by reducing data, presenting data and then drawing conclusions. The results of research on the teacher's role in introducing sex education to early childhood at RA Hidayatul Mubtadi'in, Dau District, Malang Regency are very important and provide true and healthy understanding to children. This can be seen through 1) the role of the teacher as a teacher, mentor, facilitator, and teacher as a mediator. 2) supporting factors in the introduction of sex education include the use of songs and picture books as well as parenting activities.
