Pendampingan Orang Tua dalam Menginternalisasi Nilai Kepedulian Sosial pada Anak Usia Dini di Kober Cerdas Ceria 2

Abstract

The social care values in early childhood are the foundation of children’s character development; therefore, parental guidance plays a very important role. This Community Service Program (PKM) at Kober Cerdas Ceria 2 aimed to internalize social care values in early childhood. The method used was a service-learning approach that integrates academic learning with direct practice in the community. This activity involved university students, teachers, parents, and children as the main participants. The programs implemented included the “Ramadhan Charity Box (Kencleng Ramadhan),” food package preparation, charity donation activities, and parenting socialization programs. The results indicate that parental involvement, coordinated through the Parent Communication Forum (FKO), plays a significant role in fostering children’s social care values. Active parental participation as educational partners strengthens habituation processes, provides role modeling, and facilitates meaningful learning experiences for children. Through experiential-based activities, children demonstrate improvements in empathy, social awareness, and prosocial behavior. In conclusion, the synergy between school and family through a service learning approach is effective in supporting the optimal and sustainable internalization of character values in early childhood.
