Abstract
Sundanese culture in the care of children is known as kakawihan. Realized or not, a kakawihan which is sung by parents when caring for children is the process of introducing early literacy, especially related to literacy in the scope of Sundanese culture and language. As time goes by, the flow of globalization that infiltrated every part of life in Indonesian society slowly eroded the culture of each ethnicity, including the culture of the Sundanese people, one of which was kakawihan which was used to nurture children. In this case, the researcher conducted a study aimed at obtaining a comprehensive picture of the value of early literacy in kakawihan which is used to care for children. This study uses the content analysis method. The research techniques used are in the form of document studies, observations, and interviews. Based on the results of the study, it was found that kakawihan used to care for children contained early literacy values within the scope of Sundanese language and culture. Kakawihan is used in caring for children, besides being used by the closest people, it is also done with compassion to foster phonological awareness, knowledge of letters, and children's vocabulary in Sundanese.
