This paper specifically focuses on the concept of inclusive-dialogic religious education that can be offered as alternative choice to cultivate tolerance and multicultural character since early age. This model is based on experience-based learning that more emphasizes on internalization and reflection to contrive mutual respect among students. As an offer how to grow inclusive attitude in kindergarten, this religious education model is appropriately inseminated into two levels, namely structural level by elaborating necessary values into syllabus and material of religious education subject and practical level by contextualizing theory into social reality through observation and visitation. To implement it, this religious education model definitely requires teacher creativity, appropriate method, and stakeholder support as well. As methodology, this paper employs Critical Discourse of Analysis (CDA) approach. In this sense, I would argue that inclusive-dialogic religious education is able to be alternative choice to prevent intolerance and exclusive paradigm since early age.
