I have examined acclimatization models in pre-school. My emphasis is on the shorter acclimatization models. To begin pre-school is a big change, not only for small children, for the whole family as well. It is important to get a good acclimatization in pre-school, and one of the things it takes to achieve that is to interact with the parents. The reason why I chose this subject was because we have not studied much literature about this subject during our education to become pre-school teachers. I have intervjued five pedagogues about their experiences of the short acclimatization model. My aim is to find out why the pedagogues choose to apply the brief model. My questions are following:
When I was studing the results of my intervjues I come to the conclusion that having a good relationship with the parents is very important. Childrens security and needs, and the pedagogues responsibility are all parts of eachother and have to exist because the acclimatization of the children are going to be as good as possible.
