This research assessed the practices of parents of kindergarten learners in developing positive study habits during the new normal in Sabang Elementary School, Maslog Elementary School, and Bibiana Mercado Integrated School, Danao City Division, for the school year 2021-2022. The descriptive-correlational research method was used to test for any significant relationship between the parents’ practices in developing positive study habits and the learning achievement of the learners during the new normal. The data were collected using a survey questionnaire from 260 randomly selected respondents and through data mining on the scores obtained by the learners from the Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) checklist. Results showed that the parents of the kindergarten learners strongly agree that they manifested a very high level of practice in developing positive study habits for their learners during the new normal. The level of learning achievement of the kindergarten learners belonged to the category between 80 and 119, meaning they have average overall development. Pearson – r revealed significant relationships between the parents’ practices in developing positive study habits in terms of “Answering Modules” and “Reading Activities” and the learning achievement of the learners during the new normal. Therefore, the parents’ practices in developing positive study habits have a great role in developing the learners' skills. The study further recommended that its output be adopted.
