The key for successful and quality preschool education is cooperation between kindergarten and parents. Upon entering the kindergarten, the child leaves the safe shelter known to him - the family, and meets the wider world unknown to him. Introduction to kindergarten is a stressful time for the child as well to the parents and preschool teachers, so it is important that the foundations of cooperation between kindergarten and parents is built before child enters kindergarten. In my diploma I used causal-non-experimental methodological pedagogical research, I used the interview as the instrument. I found out that the first contact and communication between the preschool teachers and the parents is made in the first introductory meeting. Parents think that there should be more pre-introduction activities, so they would get to know life and work in kindergarten better. I also found out that both the preschool teachers and parents put a lot of emphasis on trust, cooperation and adaptation even before introduction. They both find it important that in the time of introduction to the kindergarten we do not try to enter new things to the child, such as: separation from the pacifier, separation from diapers, citation on their own room, etc. During the introduction the preschool teachers think it is important to spend as much time with the children on the pillow as possible, where the children feel safe and don’t feel alone. But the parents think that the children should get used to the routine and get to know the teachers and the children
