Abstract: Parental involvement is a strong foundation of early educational success during formative years, particularly from Grade 1 to Grade 3. This study aimed to examine the role of parents’ involvement in the early educational development of the pupils among schools in Bukidnon Province. This study focused on two main areas of parental involvement: namely, attendance at school meetings, programs, and activities, and the time spent following up on their children. Descriptive correlational and causal research designs with content analysis were employed. A modified and adapted questionnaire was used to obtain data from parents. Respondents were selected through simple random sampling using Slovin’s Formula. Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation were the statistical tools used in this study. The findings revealed that parental involvement in child's learning process is very high. The pupils' early education development in terms of pupils' attendance and pupils' performance is very high. There is a low to moderate positive correlation between parental involvement and pupils' early educational development. Time to follow up a child has the greatest influence on early education development. Thus, consistent involvement and hands-on support give children the boost they need to thrive and succeed in their early years. Schools may continue to design opportunities or programs that will cater to the involvement of parents both in school and at home.
