Abstract


Abstract. The aim this study was to determine the implementation of partnership and cooperation programs in early childhood education. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The data analysis technique used is an interactive model analysis which is checked through triangulation techniques. Based on the analysis, findings and discussion, it can be concluded that the implementation of the partnership program in PAUD Islam Terpadu Wihdatul Ummah Makassar is based on its principles and application. The partnership principle implemented is support and cooperation between families (parents) and the school. The partnership model developed is the 5C’s which includes communication (either direct or indirect), connection (linkage between family and school), community (parent's association), consultation (guidance and complaints) and collaboration (cooperation in various matters). Opportunities and challenges in terms of implementing the partnership program cannot be separated from the support of various parties including the community and government as an important part of the education system including early childhood education.
