The descriptive method was used in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 410 parents (220 Turkish and 190 Syrian). The data of the study were collected by using Personal Information Form, Questionnaire for Determining Opinion and Expectation for Pre-school Education, and Open-ended Question Form. Frequency and percentage calculation was done in the analysis of the quantitative data and the content analysis for the qualitative data. It is concluded that opinions of Turkish and Syrian parents on pre-school education are mostly similar though they come from different cultural backgrounds and educational experiences; however, there is differentiation in their expectations of pre-school education. Their opinions on preschool education indicate that preschool education should be compulsory and will have positive reflections on the child's future education.},author={Hikmet DOĞRUL-- Cenk AKAY},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
