Current parents and their attitudes towards kindergarten
CHVÁTALOVÁ, Ivana
The objective of this Bachelor´s Thesis was to explore the experience of contemporary parents with a kindergarten, arising from their own experience from the time of their childhood, and which are the basis of their attitudes towards this institution. The Bachelor´s Thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part I am concerned with the family, parentage, kindergarten, basic human needs and values in the contemporary society. In the practical part I discover the experience of the contemporary parents with the kindergarten from the time of their childhood, their attitudes, expectations and satisfaction with the current kindergarten, what changes they have experienced, what are the aspects of their choice of the kindergarten, and what values are important to them. The practical part is based upon a quantitative method-interview. The results of interviews with forty parents of preschool children are included.

Determinants Affecting Amount and Drawing of the Parental Benefit in the Czech Republic
CHVÁTALOVÁ, Ivana
ABSTRACT Thesis title: Determinants impacting Czech Republic parental allowance way of payment and parental allowance entitlement period This thesis deals with determinants influencing parents in opting for a parental allowance variant. Its objective is to identify the most significant factors that influence parents in opting for a parental allowance variant; further, I also strived to identify ways of using the parental allowance option, and whether or not the mother's family support has any impact on deciding the parental allowance variant. The Bachelor thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the first Chapter deals with the family, and the second one with the social policy measures. The practical part describes the thesis's objectives and hypotheses, research methods, and the very results. For obtaining necessary information, I have selected the quantitative research through a questionnaire as the inquiry instrument. The research was accomplished by the direct and mediated form in the Czech Republic territory. The respondents' group targeted consisted of mothers on parental leave. I found out that the amount of the parental allowance, planning the second child within two years, and a higher or university education are the most significant determinants for the two-year parental leave option. For the three-year parental leave option, the possibility of returning to the employer the mother was employed by before her parental leave, the possibility of placing the child in a kindergarten at the age of three, the satisfactory amount of the parental allowance, and the sufficient time for taking care of and upbringing the child are the most significant determinants. Mother's family and child dedication and the option itself are the most significant factors for the four-year parental leave and allowance receipt option. I further found out that almost three quarters of responding mothers use the family support. My thesis could help promote pro-family measures that would support parents in satisfactory combining their employments and families.
