Abstract:

The child’s education begins in the family, and the preschool educational institution helps the family educate the child, expands his/her social experience, establishes conditions to learn to live in a small community of children. Pedagogues of a preschool educational institution provide qualified pedagogical and psychological support to parents. Collaboration between pedagogues and parents helps to pursue a common goal, brings all the participants of education together. Only mutual confidence between the educational institution and the family guarantees the successful formation of the child’s personality.

The changes in the world of education policy can be understood as shifting the focus towards the search for opportunities and their use, which presupposes the idea that in order to meet the consumer’s social needs it is not necessary to create something radically new because it is possible to find opportunities in the everyday activity of organizations.

Referring to this approach, it was decided to reveal the expression of parents’ education performed in preschool educational institutions analysing the planning documents of the institutions. The obtained results and insights of the research will permit to improve the model of the organization of parents’ education in preschool educational institutions of Lithuania.
