This paper aims to explain the role of the family in early childhood development. The family is a major factor in the process of development and growth of children. Thus, this paper reviews the role of family in child development through the concept of developmental psychology. The approach used is qualitative involving research studies of literature (literature studies). The results of this study indicate that theoretically there are two previous theories in the development and growth of children, including Piaget's theory and Vygotsky's theory. According to Piaget, early childhood is a pre-operational thought. In this period the child is able to develop good and structured actions to deal with the environment, the child begins to understand the symbols used in a particular object. Meanwhile, according to Vygotsky the development of children in the early period leading to school preparation is based on the types of interactions that children have in their social environment which are centered on achieving developmental tasks. There are many factors that cause a child's growth and development. In general, these factors are divided into 2 parts, namely internal (internal) and external (external / environmental) factors.
