The study aims to describe the readiness of families, especially parents, to support learning stimulation activities from home during the pandemic in terms of the readiness of the knowledge and skills needed, the readiness of infrastructure to support children's learning from home, and the readiness to provide mentoring time during the implementation of learning stimulation from home.

The data analysis technique uses the percentage formula.
