Preschool-Home Cooperation in Change
Sandberg, Anette; Vuorinen, Tuula
International Journal of Early Years Education, v16 n2 p151-161 Jun 2008
The purpose of this study is to bring forth preschool teachers' and parents' views on both established and future forms of cooperation between the preschool and home. The empirical sample is based on both individual and focus-group interviews. Results show that cooperation mainly revolves around the individual child. The form of cooperation that is the least established among both preschool teachers and parents tends to be the parent council. It is concluded that it is important for preschool teachers to provide varied and rich forms of cooperation, as different forms of cooperation appeal to different parents. With a wide range, there is a possibility to reach all parents. (Contains 1 table.)
