Summary/Abstract: Much scientific research in the field concerning cooperation between family and kindergarten and its influence on the education and development of the child indicate that there are strong connections between these two social contexts and that they support the child's developmental potential. Thus, in the research carried out we wanted to find out what were the parents' attitudes towards the cooperation with the kindergarten, and whether there were differences in the attitudes of the parents of both the experimental and control groups. By means of a scale of opinions, 237 parents were examined from 4 Zagreb and 2 Čakovec kindergartens. The variance analysis established a statistically significant difference in the attitudes of parents with regard to situations in which the (im) possibility of spending time with the child/children either in the family or institutional context of the child's life is indicated, with regard to the integration of children with developmental difficulties into the regular pre-school program and with regard to the kindergarten teacher's need to inform about the improvement of the child/children.
