All societies aim to pass down their national values from the past, as well as universally accepted values, to the new generation in order to sustain their existence. Fostering individuals who embrace the values expressing the societal responsibility of education is one of the most crucial duties of society, schools, and families. Education not only imparts academic knowledge but also teaches societal values, cultural heritage, and human rights. Education is fundamental not just for personal achievement but also for the progress of society and the foundation of living together harmoniously.. The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of parental attitudes on the value perceptions of 60-72-month-old children who attend and do not attend preschool education institutions. The sample of the study consists of 234 children and parents who are 60-72 months old and attending or not attending preschool education institutions in the 2019-2020 academic year. "Personal Information Form" was used to collect demographic information, "Preschool Values Scale Family Form" was used to measure children's value perceptions, and "Parenting Attitude Scale" was used to measure parental attitudes. The research data was analyzed using statistical software. Independent Groups t-Test, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Pearson Correlation Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the study, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between parental attitudes and value perceptions. This relationship was found to be low-level and positive. It was concluded that the positive tendency in parental attitudes also increased the value perceptions.
