A kindergarten gives extensive opportunities for cooperation with parents. The article is limited to present two aspects of cooperation. One area concerns health education, which can and should combine and integrate the activities of kindergarten teachers and parents, concerning children’s knowledge acquisition and formation of health-oriented behaviour. The second area concerns preparing preschool children for the future role of a tourist. Advantages of tourism for a child’s development were presented, including trips as an organizational form of kindergarten work.
