           This paper examines the crucial role of parent-school collaboration in fostering holistic child development within early childhood education. Holistic development, encompassing the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth of a child, is essential for overall well-being and future success. The research highlights effective models of parent-school collaboration, including consistent communication, joint decision-making, and active parental involvement, while exploring the benefits of digital communication tools in enhancing interaction between parents and educators. By analyzing the positive impact of collaboration on children’s academic performance, emotional resilience, and social skills, the study also addresses challenges such as socioeconomic disparities and cultural differences that may hinder effective partnerships. Recommendations include improved communication frameworks, targeted training, and leveraging community support to enhance collaborative practices, thus reinforcing the importance of parent-school collaboration for comprehensive child development.
