Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of parenting training strategies and level of education on mother’s communication ability to children aged 4-5 years. The study used an experimental method with a 2×2 factorial design. The study sample was 34 mothers who had early childhood in DKI Jakarta Non-Formal Early Childhood Education. Parenting strategies for Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Experiential Learning (EL) training were carried out eight times in 90 minutes each meeting for two months. Higher education level that is high school. Low levels of education are the junior and elementary school. The results showed that the communication ability of parenting trainees in PBL strategies were higher than those of EL parenting strategy participants. There was an interaction effect between parenting training strategies and education level on mother’s communication ability. Communication ability of highly educated mothers were better through parenting PBL strategies and communication ability of low-educated mothers are better if they take part in EL parenting training. This study suggests that choice of a parenting training strategy needs to be adjusted to the level of education to produce good communication ability.
