Abstract

This research resulted to a training model that aims to enhance the parents' knowledge and skills in early childhood education within a family environment. The educative traditional model based on local potential has been developed. Through this model, parents are expected to improve their knowledge and skills on how to implement the educative traditional plays in child education. This research was carried out based on the fact that the trainings before this model had not helped to improve the parents' knowledge and skills in regard to child development. The research revealed that 15.72% of the parents' knowledge and skills was influenced by this new model. The recommendations are made to the stakeholders, especially the Educational sectors (both private and Government) in Gorontalo Province.
