The instilling of character values is one of the priorities in early childhood education which can be obtained from science learning. The aspect of science learning, in its essence, is to acquaint children to the natural environment directly or through the other media. This study has a purpose to discover the impact of science learning with a constructivist approach towards the construction of early childhood's character. This is experimental research with pre-test and post-test. 15 early childhood students of TK Adzkia II, Tabing, Padang are involved in data collection with total sampling and analyzed with the t-test method. It is found that there has been an influence of learning science towards the building of independent, careful and environmental caring characters for early childhood. The result shows that the average score of mastery of students' character values is higher after being given science learning with a constructivist approach. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.
