The objective of this research was to study the feasibility practices of parental involvement at childcare centres, with six research questions derived from the objective.The data was collected through survey questionnaire {teachers, childcare providers and parents} and interviews (principals/managers). The results showed that parental involvement at childcare centres and parents' perception towards childcare providers/teachers were high, and centres encouragedparents' participation and involvement at the centres. Factors that influenced parents' involvement were: the requirements set by the centres, for the sake of their children, parents felt they need to contribute something in return for the low fee charged by the centres, and parents saw other parents doing it.
