Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Parents' involvement means more than parent-teacher conferences and PTA meetings. When schools and families work together, children could do better. All kids deserve to learn and succeed regardless of their background. This is our moral imperative. Learning happens everywhere, so we should look out beyond the margins of formal schooling and we should explore our learning in all its possible where everyone is a learner and a leader.

METHODS

In gathering the necessary data, the researcher conducted different methods employed by the teachers to enhance the comprehension skills of the parents to help the kindergarten pupils of Boot Elementary School. Parents were gathered by the teachers after every session to give the information about the lessons that have been discussed and open communication through chatting using messenger or text using cellphones are also employed to send the information for parents who are working

RESULTS

And the result based on the intervention employed to the parents and to the learners is very evident, strong partnership to build learning community has been made, parents were empowered to take their place alongside teachers as educators of their own children, and they made every possible way to give enough time and effort to nurture our own children. So that, pupils have actually developed their motor activities, numeracy, language and reading skills.

DISCUSSIONS

The Kindergarten teachers as well as the parents need to be more aware on the status of every domain of their children. This can be done first at home, which is the first school of every child and having parents’ involvement when they are enter in formal schooling. Learning can be done and can be more enjoyable in every way for teacher, pupils as well as the parents, if there is a strong partnership and support between the school and the community. When our parents are engaged in the learning of their kids, that is a big part on how learning sticks.
