This study aims to compare the parenting patterns of Muslim parents from the Javanese and Dayak tribes in early childhood in RA Al-Azhar Palangka Raya. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of 20 parents whose children were in group B and who had Javanese and Dayak cultural backgrounds. Data analysis is carried out through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation to ensure data validity. The results of the study show that Javanese parents tend to emphasize affection and the cultivation of social norms in childcare. In contrast, Dayak parents place greater emphasis on children’s involvement in traditional activities. These findings show that cultural background plays an essential role in shaping parenting patterns and the process of shaping early childhood social character and identity. The novelty of this research lies in its cross-cultural comparative analysis of early childhood education, which makes an empirical contribution to the development of culturally sensitive parenting and educational practices in Indonesia.

This systematic literature review synthesizes 29 studies published between 2016 and 2025 to examine the multidimensional factors shaping the quality of early childhood education (ECE) across global contexts. Findings show that ECE quality is influenced by six interrelated dimensions: inclusion, equity, funding, wellbeing, governance, and culture, which interact through broader political, economic, social, and cultural structures. Strong governance and sustainable financing enhance equitable access, while inclusive and culturally responsive pedagogies support children’s holistic development and socio-emotional wellbeing. The review also identifies fragmentation across studies, limited cross-country comparative work, and persistent policy-practice gaps that hinder the effective implementation of high-quality ECE. The study proposes an integrated model demonstrating how structural and contextual factors collectively shape early learning experiences. These insights provide a foundation for strengthening policy alignment, professional development, and culturally grounded practices to improve ECE quality worldwide.
