Communication is an integral part of every living being. It is an indispensable part in every segment of life, be it private or business. Through communication, we express our own opinions, attitudes, and needs. It is the way information is transmitted from one person to another. The types into which it is divided are verbal and nonverbal communication. In verbal communication, we use language and script, while in nonverbal communication we use body movement. In order for communication to be successful it is necessary to be familiar with communication skills. The communication skills listed in this paper are: active listening, assertiveness, and I-, Ti-, Mi- and impersonal messages. Knowledge of the application and use of communication skills improves every relationship, including that in preschool institutions. With the help of quality communication, cooperation is achieved with all members, starting from the professional team, parents, and all the way to the children. This paper approaches the answer to the question of what communication is and what communication skills are. Also, using professional literature, guidelines are presented on how to achieve successful communication with everyone in our environment, and especially with parents in educational work.
