Regulasi emosi merupakan salah satu aspek krusial dalam perkembangan sosial-emosional anak usia dini yang sangat bergantung pada dukungan lingkungan pengasuhan terdekat, termasuk Caregiver di lembaga daycare. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan strategi Caregiver dalam mendukung regulasi emosi anak usia dini di Preschool and Daycare RIM, Kota Padang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan tiga Caregiver sebagai partisipan yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi yang kemudian dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada lima poin utama, antara lain (1) Pemberian ruang bagi anak untuk mengekspresikan emosi dengan batasan perilaku, (2) Penenangan anak sebelum komunikasi dan penyelesaian masalah, (3) Penyesuaian strategi berdasarkan karakteristik dan kondisi anak, (4) Kolaborasi dan konsistensi caregiver dalam mendampingi emosi anak, (5) Fleksibilitas strategi dan pemanfaatan aktivitas sehari-hari untuk mendukung regulasi emosi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa caregiver tidak berupaya menghilangkan emosi anak, melainkan memberikan dukungan agar anak dapat mengekspresikan emosi dengan tetap memperhatikan batasan perilaku. Strategi diterapkan secara responsif dan adaptif sesuai dengan kondisi, karakteristik dan respon masing-masing anak. Secara praktis, temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pelatihan co-regulation dan emotion coaching bagi caregiver serta penguatan kolaborasi antar-caregiver di lembaga pengasuhan anak usia dini.
