The educator as a professional worker should be aware of the importance of a good relationship of cooperation with the parents of a child attending kindergarten. Educators and parents as well as the entire educational institution should be in a balanced relationship full of empathy, openness, flexibility, understanding and quality communication in order for a child to one day develop into a socially competent being. This paper analyzes the communication between parents and educators and the partnership, upbringing and development of the child. The family and the educational institution should be in regular communication and involvement in the child's life. The partnership helps to connect all three components of the institution-educatorparent, and the partnership is characterized by openness, trust, tolerance and, above all, objectivity. Parents need to be constantly taught, informed and interested in order to get involved in the work of the kindergarten. Communication and cooperation are interconnected and the quality of communication affects, encourages or discourages cooperation. There are several forms of cooperation that are described in this paper in order to make the communication between parents and educators as high quality as possible. Sometimes there are misunderstandings and certain conflicts in cooperation, but for each problem there are possible solutions to overcome and establish positive partnerships. Educators are expected to continuously improve the positive and quality functioning of the whole community for the benefit of the child, because it is the focus of the whole system.
