The parental empowerment program in supporting children's learning at home is designed to enhance parents' capacity to create a conducive learning environment, strengthen communication with their children, and overcome learning challenges. This program involves 40 parents of elementary school students through intensive training, mentoring, and periodic evaluations. The results show significant improvements in parents' understanding of learning methods (85%), their active involvement in supporting their children's learning (75%), and a 15% average increase in children's academic performance. However, challenges such as time constraints and differences in parents' understanding remain. The program also highlights the importance of flexible implementation and a community-based approach to address these barriers. In conclusion, parental empowerment positively contributes to children's academic achievements and character development. Collaboration between schools, communities, and the government, as well as improved access to learning resources, is necessary to ensure the sustainability and expansion of the benefits of this program.
