Abstract: This research explores strategies for enhancing parental involvement in early childhood education to support children's academic and socio-emotional development in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The objective is to examine effective practices that promote collaborative partnerships between schools and families. Using a survey research design, data is collected from 250 parents, educators, and community stakeholders. The sample size is determined using Taro Yamane's formula to ensure representation across diverse demographic groups. A case study approach investigates a local preschool known for its successful parent engagement initiatives. The reliability coefficient score ensures data reliability and validity. Findings reveal that active parental involvement positively impacts children's motivation, behavior, and academic performance. Recommendations emphasize establishing clear communication channels, organizing family workshops, and fostering mutual respect between educators and parents to enhance educational outcomes in early childhood settings.
