The need to promote genuine interest for learning is especially required for STEM based understanding, knowledge and skills in very young learners. Parents involvement in STEM learning has been established as a critical factor that would move the students’ interest and adoption into STEM field and STEM related careers later in the future. This is critical even in the early childhood years where curiosity and interest are at its peak. Play based learning at home and in informal settings are one of the most effective way to experience STEM and this has been reflected in the literature especially where parents are involved. While the efficacy and usefulness of play-based learning is clear among children, the acceptance and thorough adoption among parents still requires clear method and direction. This research aims to explore and identify key factors of effective STEM learning for young children. Parents’ background and STEM career could influence their children’s interest and ability in STEM, while utility values by parents are key in nurturing children’s interest as children are independently evoked and may be influenced by their perceived utility-values by the parents. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
