Abstract:

The paper aims to answer such questions as: What communication situations are kindergarten teachers involved in, with whom, and what and how do they communicate? How do kindergarten teachers feel when they communicate with parents of children and with their colleagues? It then points out the impact of educational styles in families in communication of parents with the teacher. The text is based on quantitative research undertaken in 2016 as a part of the Summer School designed for kindergarten teachers. The research sample consisted of 123 kindergarten teachers. The results are processed in the form of descriptive analysis. The collected data show that the majority of teachers feel prepared for solving problems with parents "very well" (52.9%) and "well" (24.8%). The preparation, however, is better evaluated in relation to continuing education courses, not to undergraduate training. The most accentuated topic is the issue of discipline.
