Kasus Covid-19 pada anak terus bertambah yang mengindikasikan bahwa upaya pencegahan di Indonesia belum efektif dan optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran persepsi dan harapan orang tua siswa SDN 12 Guguak VIII Koto mengenai penyebaran dan pencegahan Covid-19 pada anak. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi deskriptif dan data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam pada tiga orang informan utama yaitu orang tua siswa dan tiga orang informan triangulasi yaitu pendidik SDN 12 Guguak VIII Koto dan dokter umum. Data dianalisa dengan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi orang tua siswa terhadap penyebaran Covid-19 pada anak ialah imunitas anak rendah, takut terinfeksi, takut terpisah dari anak, butuh ketegasan orang tua, dan anak memiliki pengetahuan yang minim mengenai Covid-19. Persepsi orang tua mengenai protokol kesehatan yang harus diajarkan pada anak ialah mengurangi aktivitas anak di luar rumah, mencuci tangan, menjaga kebersihan, membawa handsanitizer, tidak berkumpul dengan teman, menggunakan masker, dan butuh ketegasan orang tua. Orang tua siswa terkendala dalam mengajarkan protokol kesehatan seperti anak mengeluhkan sesak napas saat menggunakan masker, anak sering bertanya, anak tidak memakai masker dengan baik dan benar, dan anak sulit dilarang keluar rumah. Harapan yang muncul ialah diharapkan adanya peningkatan kedisiplinan terhadap protokol kesehatan, guru lebih tegas terhadap anak yang tidak disiplin protokol kesehatan, dan pandemi segera berakhir. Disimpulkan bahwa orang tua siswa SDN 12 Guguak VIII Koto belum memiliki pengetahuan yang memadai mengenai penyebaran Covid-19 pada anak dan mengalami kendala dalam medisiplinkan anak terhadap protokol kesehatan, sehingga orang tua murid berharap guru dapat membantu mendisiplinkan anak.
