Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how parents saw the relationship between early years educational institutions and parents, and how these perceptions were influenced by parental background factors. A total of 334 parents who sent their child to a kindergarten participated in this study. The collected data were analyzed by Chisquared test, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows. First, parents had a high level of interest in their child's education, but little actual knowledge about the contents and strategies of education in the kindergarten setting. Second, regarding parental participation in early childhood education institutions, necessity for parents's involvement in the institutions was relatively higher than the average. Third, when considering the relationship between staff in early childhood education institutions, i.e. kindergartens, and parents both teachers and parents hoped to form a relationship in which they could freely exchange their opinions.
