Föräldrars inflytande i förskolan Vi har valt att skriva ett examensarbete där vi presenterar hur föräldrarna upplever sitt inflytande i förskolan. Syftet är att på ett trovärdigt sätt undersöka om föräldrarna är nöjda med inflytandet de har idag eller inom vilka områden de skulle vilja ha mer inflytande. Vi frågade också föräldrarna varför de valt den förskolan som deras barn går i idag. För att nå ett resultat började vi med att leta efter intressant forskning som kunde ligga till grund i vårt arbete och vi läste även annan litteratur. Efter det konstruerade vi en enkät som vi lämnade ut till föräldrarna på tre olika förskolor.
