The aim of this essay is to examine parents and teachers perception of parental participation in a Swedish preschool. The aim was further to find variations in teachers and parents view of the matter, to find similarities and/or differences in the statements. The method used in this essay is a qualitative research method with surveys to collect data. The questions in the survey had a low degree of structuring to get extensive answers. For the results and analysis a phenomenographic approach was used to find variations in the data. The results show that there are variations in the views on parental participation between teachers and parents. Teachers to a higher extent emphasises the whole group, and pedagogical documentation as a way to reach higher parental participation, while parents emphasises information about their own child and the daily contact with the teachers to feel as participants in the preschool. The results have similarities to previous research of teachers and parents views on parental participation in the Swedish preschool. Conclusions that can be drawn from this paper is that parents and teachers in certain areas have a different view of what makes parents feel as participants in the preschool.
