Povzetek

Izobraževanje v zgodnjem otroštvu koristi vsem otrokom, predvsem tistim, ki prihajajo iz socialno prikrajšanih okolij. Pomembno je, da otroku nudimo visokokakovostno predšolsko vzgojo in varstvo, saj le ta najbolj učinkovito vpliva na otrokov razvoj in zmanjšuje nevarnost zgodnje opustitve šolanja. Evropa je določila cilj, da bi do leta 2020 bilo v predšolsko vzgojo vključenih najmanj 95% otrok med četrtim letom starosti in starostjo, ko se začne obvezno osnovno šolanje. Vlade po vsej Evropi so prepričanja, da je vlaganje v predšolsko vzgojo in varstvo ena izmed najboljših naložb za otroke in za prihodnost Evrope. Vendar pa zahteva precejšnje naložbe, tako iz javnih kot iz zasebnih virov. Namen magistrske naloge je ugotoviti, kako zadovoljni so starši s predšolsko vzgojo v javnih in zasebnih vrtcih in kdo zagotavlja največji delež sredstev za financiranje predšolske vzgoje. Magistrska naloga je sestavljena iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu smo najprej opredelili pojem predšolska vzgoja, nadaljevali s financiranjem in predstavili cene pristojbin za vrtce v državah EU-28. V drugem delu smo predstavili metode za merjenje zadovoljstva in priložnosti za zaposlitev v predšolski vzgoji. Empirični del magistrske naloge smo pričeli s predstavitvijo javnih vrtcev (vrtec X) in zasebnega vrtca (vrtec Y). Predstavili smo namen, cilje in vzorec raziskave, hipoteze ter način zbiranja podatkov. S pomočjo vzorca staršev otrok, ki obiskujejo javne vrtce in zasebni vrtec iz območja celjske regije, smo ugotavljali razlike med vrtci. S pomočjo računalniškega programa SPSS smo ugotavljali razlike v vrtcih in rezultate predstavili. Empirični del smo zaključili z analizo zbranih podatkov in s preverjanjem hipotez. Ključne ugotovitve so pokazale, da so manjše razlike med starši otrok v javnih vrtcih in zasebnem vrtcu. Pri odločitvi o izbiri vrtca je za vse starše najpomembnejše bližina vrtca. Mesečni dohodki družin se razlikujejo, saj imajo družine, katerih otroci obiskujejo zasebni vrtec, v povprečju višje povprečne mesečne dohodke od družin, katerih otroci obiskujejo javne vrtce. Starši iz javnih vrtcev so zelo zadovoljni s kakovostjo poučevanja in z vzgojitelji, medtem ko so starši iz zasebnega vrtca z vsemi dejavniki kakovosti zadovoljni. V teoretičnem delu smo ugotovili, da največji delež sredstev za financiranje predšolske vzgoje tako v Sloveniji kot v državah EU zagotavljajo občine in da je financiranje predšolske vzgoje v Sloveniji primerljivo z drugimi državami EU.

Sekundarni naslov:	Funding of pre-school education in European countries and in Slovenia
Sekundarni povzetek:	Early childhood education benefits all children, especially those who come from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. It is important that the child is provided with high-quality early childhood education and care due to its highest influence on the child's development. Early childhood education also reduces the risk of school abandonment. Europe has set a target that by the year 2020 in pre-school education at least 95% of children will be included, with the age from four years to the age suitable for attending the mandatory primary school. Governments across Europe are convinced that investing in early childhood education and care is one of the best investments for children and for the future of Europe as well. However, it requires significant financial contribution from both public and private sources. The main goal of this work is to determine how parents are satisfied by the pre-school education provided by the public and private kindergartens and who provides the largest share of funds for early childhood education. This work is consisted of theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part, the concept of early childhood education was defined, continuing with the presentation of the funding and the rates of the fees for kindergarten in the EU-28. In the second part methods for measuring customer satisfaction and opportunities for employment in early childhood education were presented. The empirical part includes the presentation of the public kindergartens (kindergarten X) and the private (kindergarten Y) kindergarten as well. Aims, objectives, research sample, research hypotheses and methods for data collection were presented. Parents of children attending public kindergartens and parents of children attending private kindergartens in the area of Celje region helped us in assessing the differences between the kindergartens. The computer software SPSS was used to determine the differences between kindergartens and for the presentation of the results. Empirical part was completed with the analysis of the data collected and the testing of the hypotheses. Key findings have shown the differences between parents of children attending the public kindergartens and private kindergarten. When considering the choice of kindergarten, the most important factor for all parents is the distance to kindergarten. Monthly income of families are different, where families whose children attend private kindergartens have higher average monthly income on average compared to families whose children attend public kindergartens. Parents of children attending public kindergartens are very satisfied with the quality of teaching and teachers, while parents of children attending the private kindergarten are satisfied with all the quality factors. In the theoretical part, we determined that the largest share of funds for the financing of pre-school education in Slovenia and in other EU countries are provided by the municipalities and that the financing of early childhood education in Slovenia is comparable with other EU countries.
