To achieve partnership, active engagement and counseling with parents is essential to contribute to the common goal, the overall development and well-being of a child. The aim of the research was to examine educators' perception of the parents' inclusion in various forms of co-operation within the educational institution. The survey included 109 educators from the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. As a form of cooperation, educators mostly implement individual conversations, followed by, in order, workshops, parental meetings, ceremonies, volunteering of parents in the group, and excursions. They evaluate the level of parental counseling as mediocre, and as the highest level of parental interest in information and advice in certain areas related to the child, they indicate the interest in the child's behavior in the group. They estimate the level of parental involvement in the partnership with the kindergarten as high, and most educators agree that there are ways to improve parental involvement. The largest number of educators indicates the parents' volunteering in the group as a way of improvement , as previously confirmed by the assessment in which 28% of the examined educators does not implement such co-operation at all.
