The approach in this research is ethno-narrative. The data used in this study are snippets of statements obtained from interview transcripts. The type of interview conducted is a non-structured interview that explores the teachers' narrative experiences. 2 teachers in early age school are used as resource persons in this study. The analysis technique uses narrative. The results of the analysis explain that: 1) The parents are working class, meaning that their social class is lower middle class; 2) lower middle class indicates a lack of literacy related to parenting, 3) lack of literacy creates a culture which blockades the learning for children using literary works.
