The research in the practical part of the thesis was based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The questionnaire survey method was used for the quantitative part, and the interview method was used for the qualitative part. The research group consisted of parents of children attending a children's group. The common goal of the research was to determine how the parents of children attending a children's group view the children's group, to discover their motivation for choosing it over other institutions, and to find what parents believe the purpose of children's groups is. The research showed that parents have a positive attitude towards children's groups and evaluate the service of child care in a children's group as beneficial. They perceive the children's group as a fully satisfactory alternative to kindergartens which can significantly help with the lack of places in kindergartens. Above all, parents are motivated to choose a children's group over other institutions not only by its specifics, but also by their own needs as well as the needs of their children. They see the meaning of children's groups primarily in helping them harmonize their family and work life.
