Direct involvement of parents to participate in the process and take part in the process of child growth and development is very important and cannot be replaced by anyone and anything. Early age (0-6 years) is the most important growth and development period to plant and shape children's character morals.
Nowadays, there are childcare services available to be partners for parents in stimulating their children's growth and development, but the role and involvement of parents remains urgent, absolutely necessary and will significantly increase children's growth.
With the involvement of parents to play and read with their children, attend school activities / educational institutions and childcare, and effective communication with caregiver / educare tutor, children will have better language skills and emotional regulation, even showing significant academic development. This will indirectly foster a sense of trust in children, self-confidence, and openness and deep curiosity.
Childcare / educare center services will be more optimal when parents are directly involved in the child's growth and development process. Strong collaboration between parents and childcare will form a unified approach that supports the child's growth and development needs. In this case, consistent support from parents is needed to provide emotional support, guidance, and discipline to continue what is trained or taught to children while at the childcare center, for example when children learn to eat at childcare, parents should also support children to eat by themselves at home.
