Employing a qualitative research method, this paper aims at shedding light on the role of parents in the educational work of preschool institutions from the perspective of educators. The emphasis is placed on creating work programs, choosing activities in accordance with children's interests, and cooperation and partnership with educators who are in daily contact with children. The research is oriented towards a qualitative methodological setting, and the basic method of collecting empirical data is an expert interview. The obtained data were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis, and the selected participants were five educators with the professional title of a Bachelor of Preschool Education and a Bachelor of Social Pedagogy, who work in preschool institutions every day.
