In this research, the descriptive method is used with a qualitative approach, with a sociological perspective. A sociological approach to family education relationships can also provide a practical understanding of the role of fathers in early childhood. By using survey data to be analyzed. The results of the study show that survey data from 40 respondents showed that through play activities between fathers and children will develop various kinds of child development after an early age, including social development and emotional development. The presence of the father in the child's early life is not only felt by the child as a happy experience but the mother and father themselves also feel happy when they are involved in the child's early life.
