Abstract:
Nursery rhymes can promote children's cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and learning development, as many parents and guardians are aware of. A pleasant and engaging learning environment for music can be created using nursery rhymes, and chances for interdisciplinary learning are prompted by phonological, phonemic, speech production, and communication skills. This study aims to help readers understand the perception of parents who have children who are two to three years old if watching nursery rhymes benefits not only watching but also in ways of learning that children get from nursery rhymes such as learning to speak, memorize, listen, and to adopt something new and appropriate learning. A mixed method of research approaches was obtained to analyze the factors of the study. Quantitative research through a quasi-observation carried out over a one-week period with toddlers (n = 10) in home visits, the study observed by the researchers when they watch nursery rhymes, children can easily recognize syllables, rhymes and alliteration, especially if sing along with it, watching nursery rhymes toddlers become involved in the games and songs they see, toddlers can sing and follow every word and repeat the song from the beginning especially if it is easy for children to imitate, toddlers can easily imitate a sound or word even if they can't pronounce it properly they understand what they mean to say even if they do not know the meaning of the word they are imitating and toddlers are able to pronounce words they imitate watching nursery rhymes even though the pronunciation is not so clear the pronunciation is fully understood. Qualitative research by conducting key informant interviews with parents (n = 10) in an urban village in Bulacan. For infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children, nursery rhyme songs are an effective technique for fostering excellent language development. Nursery rhyme songs also help children develop rhyming, memory, articulation, vocabulary for communication, and early literacy skills.
