The children's group as a tool of harmonization of parental and working roles
TRÁVNÍČKOVÁ, Veronika
The topic of the bachelor thesis is "Children's group as a tool of the harmonization of parental and work roles." Specifically, this thesis deals with how CHG participates in the solution of reconciliation of work and family which "tools" are used for that. The main aim of the work was to map out the advantages and disadvantages of the child group from the parents point od view. Its sub-goal was to identify other factors that contributed to retaining / gaining employment after returning from parental leave. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and research part. In the introductory part I am interested in the current state of preschool institutions in the Czech Republic. Then I get acquainted with the children's group in general and states its legal conditions. In the next part of the thesis are included the needs of parents concerning the provision of childcare, the pro-family measures and the issue of harmonization of work and family, which is key to the subject of my bachelor thesis. The method was chosen as a qualitative research strategy. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data. Informant-parents, whose children attend a children's group in the Pilsen region, were selected by a special-purpose selection method. The practical part deals with the interviews themselves and their subsequent results. Research has found that parents are satisfied with the possibility of services for children, such as children's group. Not only do they have the opportunity to get back into the work process, whether it's after parental leave or during it, but it is also positive for the child. An example may be social contact with other children or work on their development autonomy, education. Parents also have time for themselves, which is very valuable. Any knowledge gained can be used as a source of information for other emerging child groups or those already associated with children's groups and what they should avoid, or, on the contrary, what parents are looking for and what needs to be further improved.
