Abstract

At present, early childhood education is no longer just reserved for children aged 4-5 years who want to prepare for formal schooling at primary school. Early childhood education also provides facilities for children with younger age, like a play groups for toddlers and baby classes. With younger age children entering the school, the role and responsibilities of teachers in early childhood education (ECE) also known as Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) in Indonesian language, was greater for educating these children. On the other hand, parents need to be aware that the main responsibility for the education of children was in their hands than in the hands of school teachers. But this is not the case in some cities. In several PAUD in Malang, East Java, it can be seen the sights where the mother was present in the classroom. This situation usually become the issues to be solved by trying to separate the mother from their children during the learning process in the classroom. This article is trying to see this problems from different view: why not benefiting the presence of the mother in the classroom as one of the learning facilitator also. This article will be discussing the efforts of the active involvement of mother in early childhood education classroom in terms of being the active learning facilitator for their own children. This article is based on several literatures on the role of parents and early childhood education, which may be more effective to be applied in Indonesia, especially in the area of Malang, East Java.
