Abstract
The pandemic has forced the Philippines' education system to discontinue face-to-face sessions and adapt to new modes of instruction, but education must continue to advance, and teachers must adapt. Kindergarten preparation has always played a role in how well students do throughout their first week of face-to-face sessions. Other studies indicate that parental participation has an effect on children's learning results. As a result, a series of webinars and training sessions were organized for kindergarten parents and guardians to assist them in preparing themselves and their incoming kindergarten students for online learning. By establishing expectations for the learners, the researcher hopes to motivate them to participate in online classrooms using conferencing platforms, resulting in a high rate of attendance. The study included a total twenty-six persons who consented to participate. They included both the pupil's parents and guardians. They were tasked with the responsibility of applying their experience and abilities to the youngsters in order to assist them in adjusting to the new normal. During the first week of online classes, 56.33 percent of students attended. By week eight, however, it had increased to 97.33 percent. Participants agreed in a Likert assessment that the webinars prepared them and their students for online learning. In general, the researcher discovers that providing training and support to parents or guardians will aid them in preparing and encouraging their children for the new normal, resulting in a higher rate of online class participation.
