Abstract

The research aims to explore the role of primary caregivers in building self-concept in early years’ children. This research was conducted in Latimojong Village, Enrekang. The participants consist of five early childhood education centers and 23 children. For the duration of two months, this research was conducted by involving primary caregivers. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. It is found that mothers are the main primary caregivers, because they tend to build the personal identity on their children through positive parenting. This research also discovered early childhood teachers simply focus on teaching mathematics and literacy, not building children’s self-concept.
