The novelty of this research lies in the experiences of single parents in the context of marginalized communities and the role of the community in supporting the development of children's social skills. This research aims to analyze single parent parenting strategies in enhancing the social skills of early childhood children and to describe the role of the Gajahwong School community in supporting single parent upbringing in the social skills of early childhood children. The research uses a qualitative approach of the phenomenological type. The research subjects consisted of three single-parent families with children in the Gajahwong School community, with supporting informants including the Gajahwong School coordinator and two educators. Data were then collected thru in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. Subsequently, they were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing thru source and technique triangulation. The research results show that single parents apply three parenting strategies, namely permissive-protective, authoritarian-functional, and authoritative-responsive, which are oriented toward the development of empathy, responsibility, communication skills, and social adjustment in children. Additionally, educators at the Gajahwong School Community enhance children's social skills thru activities such as circle time, group games, storytelling, communal meals, free play, and learning reflections that train children to communicate, cooperate, share, respect others, and manage emotions positively. The community also serves as a space for empowerment for single-parent families thru informational, emotional, and instrumental-administrative support that strengthens parenting capacity and supports the social development of early childhood children. date: 2026-07-27 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/78415/1/24204031014_BAB-I_IV-atau-V_DAFTAR-PUSTAKA.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/78415/2/24204031014_BAB-II_sampai_SEBELUM-BAB-TERAKHIR.pdf identifier: Sriyanti Nihi, NIM.: 24204031014 (2026) STRATEGI PENGASUHAN SINGLE PARENT DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN SOSIAL ANAK USIA DINI DI KOMUNITAS SEKOLAH GAJAHWONG YOGYAKARTA.
