This study aims to identify the views of the preschool teachers towards the need to construct the Early Science Creative Teaching Model Based on Preschool Teachers’ Creativity Simulation. The Creative Teaching Theory by Torrance is used as a basic model in this study. The survey method used involves 100 preschool teachers with the aim of getting their perceptions about the need to construct this model. The data obtained was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. The data evaluation shows that the Cronbach Alpha value for this study is 0.898. Meanwhile, the percentage of teachers who agree with the model construction is very high and the mean value for the construct creative teaching requirement is 4.5269 where the value obtained has reached a high level of requirement. From the finding of this study, it is clear that preschool teachers agree with this Early Science Creative Teaching Model Construction in Preschools.
