Reasons for choosing a public or montessori kindergarten

V diplomskem delu z naslovom Razlogi za izbor javnega ali montessori vrtca sem v teoriji opredelila predšolsko vzgojo, njen razvoj v Sloveniji ter izvajalce predšolske vzgoje. Opisala sem programa, po katerem delujeta javni in montessori vrtec, opredelila financiranje vrtcev, ustanovitelja in vlogo odraslih v vrtcu. Dotaknila sem se tudi zakonskih pravic staršev pri izbiri programa ter vključitvi otroka v vrtec. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela sem izvedla anketni vprašalnik, ki so ga izpolnili starši predšolskih otrok. Za svojo raziskavo sem uporabila le odgovore staršev otrok iz javnega in montessori vrtca. Zanimali so me predvsem razlogi, na podlagi katerih se starši odločijo za določen program vrtca, v kolikšni meri je staršem pri izbiri vrtca pomemben program vrtca ter v kolikšni meri so starši seznanjeni s svojo zakonsko pravico do izbire vrtca. S pridobljenimi odgovori oziroma rezultati v anketnem vprašalniku sem lahko odgovorila na zastavljena raziskovalna vprašanja v empiričnem delu diplomskega dela.In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis entitled “Reasons for Choosing a Public or Montessori Kindergarten”, I defined preschool education, its development in Slovenia and the providers of preschool education. I outlined the program which manages the operation of public and Montessori kindergartens, defined the funding for kindergartens, the founder as well as the role of adults in kindergarten. I also touched on the legal rights of parents when choosing a program and during the child\u27s enrolment in kindergarten. In the empirical part of the diploma thesis, I made a survey questionnaire, which was completed by parents of preschool children. I was mainly interested in the reasons why parents decide on a certain kindergarten program, how important is the program during this choice and to what extent are parents aware of their legal right to choose a kindergarten. With the obtained answers or results in the survey questionnaire, I was able to answer the research questions in the empirical part of my diploma thesis
