Recent research findings emphasize the role of parents in this process: that parents should be involved both in the process of quality control as well as in the process of quality creativity in kindergartens. Our empirical research done on the aspects of quality in kindergartens was conducted by means of a questionnaire using a sample of parents. We established that parent-teacher meetings are relatively frequent in kindergarten (2,3,4 - times annually or even more frequently), which means that the possibilities for cooperation between parents and educators can be realized more easily. The educators also use the billboards relatively frequently in order to give information to the parents. Day to day communication between parents and educators, as an important factor of quality in kindergarten, is a common practice. The educators also enable the parents to participate in interesting activities (shows, trips, picnics and workshops), which we believe are important activities for parents, as they able them to see their children in various situations that are present in kindergartenPrispevek govori o kakovosti v vrtcu z vidika staršev kot pomembnih soustvarjalcev kakovosti. O vlogi staršev v tem procesu so še zlasti pomembna najnovejša spoznanja raziskovalcev, ki poudarjajo velik pomen staršev tako pri vključevanju le-teh v proces ugotavljanja kakovosti kakor tudi v proces zagotavljanja kakovosti v vrtcih. V empiričnem delu smo s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika na vzorcu staršev ugotavljali kakovost vrtca. Ugotovili smo, da so roditeljski sestanki in govorilne ure v vrtcih kar pogosti (2-, 3-, 4-krat letno ali pogosteje), kar kaže na zagotavljanje formalnih možnosti za sodelovanje in obveščanje staršev. Dokaj pogosto vzgojitelji starše obveščajo tudi preko oglasne deske. Tudi vsakodnevna komunikacija med starši in vzgojitelji, kot pomemben dejavnik kakovosti v vrtcu, je del prakse, ki ga oboji dodobra izkoristijo. Vzgojitelji staršem omogočajo sodelovanje tudi na področju drugih dejavnosti (prireditve, izleti, pikniki, delavnice), ki so po našem mnenju za starše prav tako pomembni, saj lahko na ta način spoznajo svojega otroka v različnih situacijah, ki jih nudi vrtecTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pedagoška fakulteta
