The article deals with the main problems of interaction between parents and teachers of preschool education. The new Federal Educational Standard, which was introduced in 2013, demands that teachers and parents should solve problems of moral, labor, intellectual, and aesthetic development of each child in collaboration. The general goals of the preschool education system are stated in the Standard, but there are no clear methods of their achievement. Each educational organization should find an appropriate way of interaction with parents by itself in order to provide the full development of the child’s personality and prepare him/her for school education. The research shows a difference between teachers and parents in their understanding of a child’s upbringing. It is questionable which personal qualities of a child should be formed by parents and which ones should be developed by preschool teachers. It is noted that the majority of parents need help of preschool teachers in development of the child’s self-organization, cooperation, communication, and problem-solving skills. As it is shown in the article, nowadays the professional level of teachers appears to be inadequate to provide cultivation of personal qualities neсessary for children’s communicational culture development.

Keywords: interaction, teachers, parents, preschool education, education, upbringing.
