Abstract:
Parental involvement plays a crucial role in supporting early childhood development and school success. This descriptive–correlational study developed a validated parental community involvement plan for Paraoir Elementary School by surveying 30 kindergarten parents or caregivers and assessing 30 learners’ development. Most parent-respondents were 31–59 years old, predominantly female, married, with secondary education, and engaged in farming or informal work. Findings showed that parents were Very Highly Involved, actively supporting their children through home learning, communication with teachers, volunteering, decision-making, and community collaboration. Kindergarten learners demonstrated Average Development across domains such as motor, language, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills. However, parents faced moderate barriers, including time constraints and limited participation opportunities. A significant moderate positive correlation was found between parental involvement and learners’ developmental progress. The proposed “BINNADANG” Community Involvement Plan was validated by experts and rated Very Highly Acceptable, confirming its feasibility in strengthening partnerships.
