This study was motivated by the importance of collaboration between teachers and parents in developing healthy eating habits among early childhood children. Healthy eating habits cannot be optimally established if they rely solely on one party; instead, continuous cooperation between schools and families is required. This study aimed to describe the forms of collaboration between teachers and parents, the implementation of healthy eating habits, and the supporting and inhibiting factors at PAUD Khoiru Ummah 1. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and parents. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while the validity of the findings was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicated that teacher-parent collaboration was implemented through intensive communication, nutrition education, healthy lunchbox programs, and role modeling of healthy behaviors. This collaboration positively contributed to the establishment of healthy eating habits among early childhood children.
