Spiritual knowledge is the most important basis of the Islamic education system. The perfection of faith is also part of the focus of Islamic education, which emphasizes spirituality and spirituality as the basis for the formation of a value system and morality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the abilities of teachers to apply spiritual knowledge to children in private kindergartens. This study uses a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 120 private kindergarten teachers in Kulim, Kedah. The results of the study show that the average level of spirituality of teachers is 3.37. A teacher's knowledge of managing children's spirituality is very important in determining the success and effectiveness of the lessons the teacher gives to the students. This research may also have good implications for teachers, especially private kindergarten teachers, who apply spiritual knowledge to children. In short, it can be stated that the most important role in shaping the personality of children in very private kindergartens is played by the knowledge and will of the teachers.
