The bachelor thesis focuses on communication barriers between kindergarten teachers and parents of children. The aim of the thesis is to find out what barriers prevent the establishment of a partnership relationship between teachers and parents and what pitfalls affect the relevant transfer of information about children and events in kindergarten. The theoretical part is devoted to the concept of communication in general, its characteristics, division, actors of communication, principles of effective communication, methods of communication in kindergarten and deals with possible causes of unsuccessful communication on the part of the teacher and on the part of the parent. The practical part explores through a quantitative research investigation the most common methods of communication between educator and parent, identifies the barriers to communication and looks for possible solutions to prevent and remove the barriers found. The results of the questionnaire survey show that the biggest barrier in communication is the lack of time, which hinders the transfer of information between the two actors.
