This graduation thesis deals with the topic Family and Kindergarten - from cooperation to partnership. We know that the family is the fundamental social community and the strongest educational environment for a child. It changes along with the society of which it is a part. Parenting is a demanding job that requires a competent parent who thinks about his actions and improves his knowledge about the child. Kindergarten can help him in this, which encourages children and adults to become open-minded - in an environment that encourages them to explore and express their ideas, to discover different possibilities, different ways of looking at things and a new understanding of the world and themselves. In such an environment, children and adults present their assumptions and openly ask questions. Partnerships between families and kindergartens are important for child development and are a prerequisite for children's future success. Mutual respect and appreciation, equality, active listening, two-way communication to achieve the same goal - a healthy, self-confident, competent, well-mannered and educated child are necessary for a partnership relationship to be realized. Communication with parents in a way that encourages their involvement is crucial for the successful integration of children. The family and the kindergarten are in a closely connected relationship and are directed towards each other. It is in the interest of both parents and educators to build a quality relationship and improve the partnership between the educational institution and the child's home.
