The following diploma thesis compares the cooperation between parents and kindergarten teachers in Slovenian and Norwegian kindergartens. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on cooperation between parents and kindergartens in general, outlining models and forms of collaboration, communication methods, advantages and obstacles of cooperation with parents from a teacher’s perspective, and the approach to working with parents in Slovenia and Norway. I used qualitative research to determine the similarities and differences in the cooperation between parents and kindergarten teachers in Slovenian and Norwegian kindergartens. I obtained the data through semi-structured interviews with four graduate kindergarten teachers and four parents. I compared and analyzed the data to discern similarities and differences. From the findings, I concluded that cooperation with parents in Slovenia and Norway is comparable.
