Key factors influencing parents’ choice of nursery school

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, it has become increasingly important for parents to choose the best possible nursery school for their child, although not everyone has the same opportunity. In the early 2000s, Balázs Török (2001, 2004) conducted a large sample study on kindergarten choice in Hungary, but no studies were conducted later, so 20 years later it is timely to look into this issue. The quantitative data collection was carried out in the 2023/2024 school year in nearly 100 kindergartens in the counties of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. For the analysis of the results, we used the SPSS statistical program, in which we performed cross-tabulation analysis, ANOVA and cluster analysis. The cluster analysis allowed us to create well-differentiated groups based on the factors influencing kindergarten choice, and our results show that parents’ educational attainment determines how carefully they choose kindergartens for their children.
