This graduate thesis deals with the role of parents in the process of their child's adaptation to kindergarten. The aim of this paper was to explain, describe and finally understand the various roles that parents play in the process of a child's growth and development, as well as the moment when they start kindergarten. Within this context, the focus is placed on several different elements. First, it is important to explain how changes in modern society cause changes in family relationships and ways of parenting, and education. In addition, parents have an extremely important role in deciding and assessing whether their children are mature enough to start kindergarten where they are expected to know certain skills and abilities. Emphasis is also placed on problematic behaviors and crisis situations that may arise in the process of separating the child and starting kindergarten, and on all the ways parents can help the child navigate the new environment. Partnership and cooperation with educational staff is also a factor that further facilitates the transition process. Here, therefore, a research was conducted as its goal was to focus on all the listed issues. Due to its flexibility, the semistructured interview method made it much easier to collect different answers, opinions and experiences from the parents who participated in the research. The results of the interviews, i.e. the answers received, vary according to numerous concepts, but what should be emphasized is the fact that all parents had a very significant role in the adjustment of their children. Despite the problems that arose, for example negative reactions of children, difficulties in adaptation and insufficient number of opportunities to be involved in the work of the kindergarten, through the conducted research in this paper, we can see in what conditions parents functioned best and in what ways they tried to be involved in such a significant, but also a very stressful phase of a child's life.
