The main research question is: How do kindergarten teachers perceive the impact of unmarried cohabitation on a child, whether and how unmarried cohabitation manifests on a child in kindergarten? The research group consists of kindergarten teachers. The second research group consists of children of mixed-age classes. Using the method of group interview shows, what wedding means to them, whether and how they perceive differences connected with the surname. The research showed that preschool children, from the perspective of the teachers, do not perceive at all, whether their parents are married or unmarried. The important thing for them is that parents are together and behave lovingly to each other, as well as for them alone. This opinion was confirmed by interviews with children.
