Data collected qualitatively using focus group interviews, observations, document analysis (children's creative painting) and video recording. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis using NVivo software version 10.0. The result shows, storytelling and story reading methods capable of fostering moral values such as helping, loving and well behaved. In addition, aspects such as regulation of the code of ethics, social ethics, human relations, well-mannered and courteous are the practice of pre-school children.
