Keywords:
Innovative Leadership; Total Quality Management; Parent Involvement; Early Childhood Education; Educational Quality Management.Abstract
This article aims to analyze the influence of innovative principal leadership and the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) on increasing parental involvement in kindergarten. This study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review method by examining various contemporary theories and empirical studies related to educational leadership, quality management, and school–family partnerships. The analysis indicates that innovative leadership plays a crucial role in fostering a collaborative culture, effective communication, and participatory programs that encourage active parental involvement. Meanwhile, the implementation of TQM strengthens quality management systems through principles of customer focus, continuous improvement, and data-driven decision-making. The integration of these two approaches results in a systematic and sustainable partnership-based management model. It is concluded that enhancing parental involvement in early childhood education requires synergy between innovative leadership and an integrated quality management system.
