This study explores the dynamics of interactions between parents and teachers, specifically focusing on distrust during the learning process at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Afthal (ABA) in Sumber Mulya Village. It investigates how such distrust impacts the relationship between parents and teachers, affecting the overall educational development of children. The research uses a qualitative case study approach, involving interviews and participatory observation with teachers and parents. The findings indicate that distrust stems from a lack of effective communication and differing expectations between parents and teachers regarding educational methods. Over time, after an open dialogue and explanation of the play-based learning approach used at the school, there was a significant increase in trust. The implications of this study suggest that fostering better communication and understanding between parents and teachers is crucial for enhancing children's educational experiences. The study also emphasizes the importance of addressing cultural and social factors that influence the dynamics of trust in educational settings
