Abstract: Childcare centres are increasingly recognised as educational institutions, and the current study examined parent's perspectives on school-based parent activities provided by childcare centres. Through surveying 266 parents, we found that both structured activities (e.g., training workshops) and unstructured activities (e.g., parent-child tours) could meet parents' needs. Activities that benefited parents practically and allowed them to cope with work and family demands were more attractive. How to deal with children's emotions was the most needed topic. Finally, parents' interest and participation varied depending on demographics and their children's in-care history. Practical implications for centre supervisors, policymakers and parents are discussed.
