Artinya orang tua harus memahami hakikat dan peran mereka sebagai orang tua dalam membesarkan anak, membekali diri dengan ilmu tentang pola pengasuhan yang tepat, pengetahuan tentang pendidikan yang dijalani anak, dan ilmu tentang perkembangan anak.…”

“…Pendidikan anak usia dini mempunyai peranan yang sangat besar dalam menciptakan cikal bakal manusia yang akan bersaing di masa depan, sudah seharusnya masyarakat, khususnya para orang tua yang mempunyai anak usia dini berperan serta terhadap keberadaan lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini di masyarakat Sunarti (2020). Rendahnya kerjasama orang tua dikuatirkan dapat berakibat kepada tidak tercapainya tujuan pendidikan pendidikan anak usia dini itu sendiri, sebagaimana yang dikemukakan oleh Soemiarti (Soemiarti 2008) bahwa keterlibatan orang tua dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar menunjukkan minat mereka terhadap pendidikan anak di dalam kelas.…”
