For this reason, this article aims to see what benefits there are from the Tahfidz Qur'an program for preschool. This research is qualitative research with the type of library study. Data obtained from collecting references in the form of scientific articles, books and previous research. Data analysis techniques are carried out by selecting, comparing, combining and sorting so that relevant ones are found. As a result, the Al-Qur'an memorization program in early childhood education has a positive impact on aspects of early childhood development, especially on aspects of cognitive, language and social emotional development.
