Summary

Introduction

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia is very concerned about Early Childhood Education (PAUD), as can be seen from the inclusion of PAUD in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning National Education System article 28 (Presiden Republik Indonesia, 2003). To prove that our government is serious in fostering PAUD, the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Education and Culture Regulation No 137 of 2014 came out on the National Standard for Early Childhood Education (Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia, 2014). PAUD is very important because at that time the child is in the golden age where the environment is very instrumental in shaping him or her so he or she has the readiness of physical and psychological functions to develop his potential and intelligence (Ariyanti, 2016). Educators and parents must provide learning experiences through observing, imitating, and experimenting, so it is very clear that parents play a very important role in this golden age to shape character (Siregar, 2013). Learning must take place in an interesting, interactive, and enjoyable manner, the learning model must be a concern
