Summary/Abstract: Expectations towards institutions tasked with early education and care are constantly changing. Parents or guardians of children are looking for places that will help them to raise a child, frequently it is exactly in collective care institutions where they would like for the child to acquire some of the competences and skills needed in later life. The meaning of the article is to show the benefits stemming from the cooperation between form teachers and the parents of children enrolled in one of the children’s clubs in Lower Silesia. The article presents a description of the cooperation between the facility’s staff and the parents of two children: Jacek, who had developmental difficulties and problems with social contacts, and Małgosia, in whom selective mutism was suspected. Jacek attended the children’s club for a period of two years, while Małgosia, for less than a year. At that time, various turning points occurred in the cooperation of the staff with the children’s parents. Cooperation between parents and form teachers is the key to the harmonious development of a young person, and it seems to be particularly important in the case of difficulties in the development and everyday functioning of a child being noticed.
