Abstract
The central point of the article is the study of interculturalism in
preschool. The latter is given special attention, as it is the framework
within which the authors present the importance of preschool
teacher’s approach to intercultural communication, both
with children and with parents. The empirical part is the presentation
of the results of a study about preschool teachers’ preparation
for a conversation with parents of children who are part of
a minority. The authors find that before introducing a child with a
different cultural or national background to the group, the majority
of preschool teachers talked to the group about the culture,
religion, traditions and the mother tongue of the child, so they
knew how to face someone different and were ready for a conversation
with the parents of that child.
