Reasons for Enrolment in the Kindergarten and Parents’ Satisfaction with Specific Elements of the Kindergarten

The importance of partnership between the parents and the kindergarten is indisputable and there are a number of works which explore the topic of the collaboration between the parents and the preschool teachers. However, there is a lack of studies that examine the parents’ perception of the satisfaction with specific elements of the kindergarten, which is an important predictor for a high-quality partnership, both in the present and in the future. In accordance with the aforementioned, the goal of this research is to determine the level of the parents’ satisfaction with specific elements of the kindergarten, as well as the reasons for the enrolment of children in the kindergarten. The research participants are the parents (N=132) of children in early childhood and preschool children who are enrolled in the kindergartens established by the local self-government in Međimurje County. The results show that the parents are predominantly satisfied with the kindergarten, and the children’s social and emotional development is highlighted as the reason for their enrolment in the educational institution.
