The bachelor thesis "The parents´ requirements and expectations
for diet in kindergarten" deals with the opinions and attitudes
that parents have on school meals in kindergartens. Its subject
is to map parents' expectations about eating at the child's
inception in pre-school education and then to identify the
requirements that parents may have for possible changes in
their children's diets. The main research was carried out
through individual interviews with parents of children who had
recently entered kindergarten; these interviews were divided
into two rounds (September and December). The research was
complemented by individual interviews with kindergarten
teachers and an electronic questionnaire for parents of
pre-school children. Parents particularly expect a balanced and
healthy diet, as well as their kindergarten child being fed a
sufficient quantity of food. The most common requirements the
parents asked for are healthy, varied, balanced and tasty food,
unsweetened drinks and enough fruits and vegetables. The
theoretical part deals with the diet and nutrition of
pre-school children, food restrictions and meals in
kindergarten.
