The mosque is believed to serve not only as a place of worship but also as a center for early childhood character development. This study aims to analyze the communication strategy of Darul Falah Mosque in creating a child-friendly mosque program using Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to understand the phenomenon holistically through natural contexts and narratives. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, in-depth interviews with nine key informants, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and continuous conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that communication plays a crucial role in disseminating the child-friendly mosque innovation through various channels such as community meetings, Friday sermons, pamphlets, and WhatsApp groups. Communication also strengthens the social system through deliberation and collective participation in the implementation of TPA (Qur'anic Education for Children) programs and the provision of child-friendly facilities. The success of the program is supported by communication that is adaptive to local culture and consistently repeated, thereby building community trust and long-term commitment to making the mosque a safe, comfortable, and educational space for children.
