Abstract

This study aimed to examine the role of parents in developing numeracy literacy skills in early childhood. This study uses a quantitative research design. The population in this study amounted to 100 respondents with research subjects, namely parents who have school-age children. The sampling technique used is the total sampling technique. The data analysis technique in this study used descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that the role of parents in the development of numeracy literacy in early childhood was good, with a percentage of 79.68%. These results are supported by the suitability of the results on each question item which includes parents' efforts to improve literacy skills and numeracy literacy skills in early childhood. In this case, it can be interpreted that the role of the family is very important in increasing literacy. The development of numeracy literacy skills in children is the family's responsibility, especially parents as the first and foremost educators for children. Therefore, literacy, as the ability to identify information needs, seek, retrieve, process, and communicate information, must be improved.
