Abstract
The pandemic disrupted all aspects of society and did not spare the education system. With the sudden change of modality, parental involvement is greatly needed to make teaching successful. The primary goal of this paper is to explore the parents’ involvement during the online education of their preschoolers in COVID-19. The study was a qualitative, single case study. The instruments used were semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documents. The participants included five female parents, one male parent, and two preschool teachers from 1 private progressive preschool in Metro Manila. In analyzing the data, the researcher followed the guide of Creswell’s thematic analysis to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that five out of six types of Epstein’s Framework were practiced in preschoolers’ online learning. It also showed that not only parents were involved but also caregivers and family members. The first type of involvement showed that parents prepared the home learning environment by acquiring the necessary hardware and furniture and ensuring internet connectivity.

However, despite multiple avenues of involvement, parents’ involvement was still affected by time constraints, level of effort, and personal perception. It was also evident that the families were involved in the school events. The fourth research question talks about learning at home in terms of homework and other curriculum-related activities, decisions, and planning. The results highlighted the importance of creating a conducive home learning environment. This involves preparing materials, using online tools, extending reviews, and utilizing caregivers to supplement the parents' busy schedules. In Epstein’s original framework, parental involvement in decision-making pertained to policymaking; however, this study showed that it was not practiced. Instead, four parents deemed themselves as decision-makers by providing feedback and concerns through online school activities in which the school listened to their feedback and adjusted accordingly. A theme emerged that having parental initiative is necessary to be active decision-makers in online learning. Due to the minimal interaction between P5 and P6 parents with the school and teachers, they felt they could
