In contemporary pedagogy the importance of collaboration of educational institutions and families of children, but also its demandigness, is getting more emphasized. The positive impact of quality cooperation between these two main contexts of child in which he resides is being noticed. The consenquences are positive, both for the child as well as the family and the educational community, and thus for the society as a whole. Due to increasing research there are more and new terms in use in this area of education. Thus, the term partnership is used for quality cooperation, apropos it reprepresents the highest form of cooperation. Cooperation alone represents superficial relation where the participants are in hierarchical order (most common is that the educators are dominant ones, unlike the parents). In collaboration one-way communication is often present so joint decision making, agreements etc. cannot be done. Partnership is deeper, for its realization there is necessary to be two-way, open and honest communication, but listening to the other person, respect of others opinion and understanding are also significant. Iti s importatnt to strive for partnership of family and educational institution because these are surroundings where child spends most of the time and people that are in them should, therefore, know best their child. Sharing experiences about the child from family home and educational institutions, both educators and parents can get bigger picture of a child and talk about optimal educational process for it. By setting the same goals (one long term goal) and acting consistently, knowing childs specific needs and interests, child has the opportunity for optimal development and realization of its benefits.
