This study aims to analyze the parenting patterns applied by working parents in supporting the optimal cognitive development of children aged 5-7 years. The research was motivated by phenomenon observed during the researcher’s internship, in which some children continued to show optimal cognitive achievement despite their parents working, including cases where parents only returned home periodically. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving eight working-parent subjects selected through purposive sampling from TK Cinta Ibu, Purwakarta Regency, with classroom teachers serving as supporting informants. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and observation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, with data credibility maintained through source triangulation. The findings revealed that all subjects applied an authoritative parenting style, characterized by consistent rational explanations behind rules and positive reinforcement. Time constraints due to work were addressed through the involvement of extended family as substitute caregivers, long-distance communication via video calls, and cognitive stimulation strategies integrated into household activites as well as contemporary educational media, such as simple coding exercises. In conclusion, this study confirms that limited physical presence among working parents does not necessarily consistent parenting and adequate support networks are present, thereby enriching Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory and Werner’s resilience theory within the context of dual-earner families in Indonesia.
