And based on the efforts made by researchers obtained the findings of
researchers that early childhood education in the village of Ampeldento needs to
be developed again. In the formal education pathway there is found a way of
educators in learning activities that are not in accordance with the principles of
development and the principles of early childhood learning. strategies and
methods that are not suitable for early childhood. In addition, two different
parenting patterns were applied by parents regarding early childhood education in
the family. The pattern of education applied to most families seems to emphasize
less emphasis on habituation that is of educational value.
As for such things happen due to several factors. Both the supporting and
inhibiting factors. Parental support, the environment and the teacher's role and
strategy are part of the supporting factors.
And vice versa parents busy, less conducive environment, and the role of
teachers who are less innovative in teaching are the inhibiting factors. Because the
parents are busy making communication and supervision of children to be very
minimal and limited, while the environment that is less conducive is meant an
environment that does not have a positive influence. Things to consider as
suggestions that need to be considered parents should explore insights and
knowledge about the importance of education early childhood. So that
responsibility for education for early childhood can be fulfilled as needed.
Educational institutions and village government are expected to provide
educational services that are in accordance with the conditions of the community.
