The relevance of the research: A preschool education of a child begins in a family and, on the request of parents as well as on the recommendation of responsible institutions, the education is continued in a preschool education institution. Many scientists (such as V. Krumas (1994), A. Faber and E. Mazlish (1999), S. Dapkienė (2002), M. Lambo and Ch. Lewis (2008) and etc.) emphasize the importance of preschool education to a further education and development of a child. However, just educators’ and parents’ cooperation may help to form child’s skills, behavior and habits ensuring his success in school or in life generally. This is influenced by the effective management of the institution, which would promote institution’s self-management, community’s organization to envisage education strategies and etc. However, nowadays situation shows, that parents’ and educators’ cooperation seeking for the general aim – child’s, as personality’s education’s – is ineffective, and the main reason of unsuccessful collaboration is the incompatibility of parents’ and educators’ attitude towards preschool education. Therefore, on the basis of scientific literature analysis, this master’s thesis deals with preschool age children’s parents’ and educators’ as well as executives’ attitude towards preschool education in a family and in an education institution, which determines successful collaboration and miscellaneous education of the personality.
