Involving parents in school activities is a tradition based on theory and research. The present study aims to find the barriers to parental involvement in early childhood education classrooms in the Mumbai slums as perceived by parents. A sample of 150 parents was selected from 10 preschools schools in the slums of Mumbai. Purposive sampling technique and a self constructed rating scale was used. The results showed that 32% of fathers were in the age group of 31-35 years where as 38.6% of mothers were in the age group of 26-30 years. It is seen that 41 fathers were primary school pass and only 6 parents had passed secondary school. Majority of the mothers were illiterates (38) and only 2 mothers had passed secondary school. Majority of the fathers (23) were auto rickshaw drivers where as 55 mothers were homemakers. Significant differences were found in responses of parents for an unwelcoming atmosphere in the school, bad experience in the past, language problems, schools located far, busy with work and attitude of parents regarding parent involvement. 65.6% of fathers and 40.5% mothers face problems and barriers and are very strongly dissatisfied. Only 5% of fathers and mothers are strongly satisfied with their involvement in school activities.
