The new changes in the Swedish curriculum for the educational system demand more digitalization in the kindergartens. However previous studies have shown that the current level of handling technology amongst preschool teachers in Swedish kindergarten is low and may create difficulties in their work. This thesis investigates a kindergarten that wants to implement a mobile app for more transparent and effective communication between preschool teachers and parents. The aims are to highlight the common perceptions and expectations from a parental point of view concerning a mobile app for communication while establishing if the preschool teachers experience technostress at their work. The data were gathered from conducting interviews and one online survey. The main finding of this study was that preschool teachers and parents should be more involved in the process of finding a suitable mobile app so they would be motivated to contribute to better daily communication. This study suggests that the most important strategies for implementing a mobile app for communication are to inform, educate and involve all the concerned parties.
