The educator-parent cooperation is of particular importance for the educator, for the preschool/pre-primary educational institution, for the parent, and especially for the child, his/her full development and education. The indisputable importance of the educator-parent cooperation is also confirmed/obligated by the document “Law on Preschool Education”, more precisely Law No. 02/L-52 – 2006.

Therefore, the functioning of this component, when carrying out work with preschool children, is an obligation of each preschool institution in general and of each educator in particular. According to this law, the aspects in which cooperation should be implemented, as well as the obligations that the educator and the parent have regarding this cooperation, are defined in detail. More specifically, in the first article, definition no. 7, it is stated: “Parental participation refers to the involvement of parents in the arrangements made by preschool institutions, to assist and contribute to the effectiveness of their work”.

Also, according to Article 8 of this law, among the basic duties of preschool educational institutions, the first duty is 'to provide assistance to parents in the care and education of their children at home'.

The cooperation of the preschool institution with parents is not left unmentioned in the issue of approving educational programs for preschool children, and Article 12, point 3, specifies that one of the educational programs for children that the institution must approve is the "Method and form of cooperation with parents."

How important the parent factor is in working with children is also shown in Article 29, point 1, of the same law (for preschool), according to which it is emphasized that "The working hours of preschool educators must include preparations, planning, implementation of educational activities, cooperation with parents and their participation in the organization of life and work in preschool institutions."
