Abstract

Early Childhood Education is pivotal in developing children’s cognitive abilities and scientific literacy. This study investigates parents’ perceptions of Early Science education in preschool settings using a quantitative research method. A survey was conducted among 342 parents, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 29. The results revealed a strong consensus on the importance of Early Science education, with a mean score of 4.60 (SD=0.490). Parents also acknowledged the necessity of providing exploratory activities and resources at home to support scientific literacy. These findings underscore the vital role parents play in fostering scientific curiosity in young children and highlight the need for collaboration between educators and families to enhance Early Science learning experiences.
