The research subjects in this study were 150 working parents who entrusted their children to PAUD daycare services. The data collection method used is a survey method using a questionnaire given to respondents. Before the questionnaire is given to respondents, the questionnaire is validated first by the relevant expert. The data analysis used techniques with a Likert scale of 5.
