The age at which European children start obligatory foreign language education becomes lower and lower. In several member countries of the EU, including Poland, students begin their foreign language classes as early as preschool. Hence, it becomes crucial to research various aspects of foreign language learning at pre-primary level. Parents, who constitute one of the factors influencing the process, seem to play an important role in this age group, as they are undoubtedly role models for such young children. The aim of the article is to examine what parents of very young learners actually know and think about their children’s foreign language learning. The text will include an analysis and discussion of data obtained from questionnaires conducted among parents of children aged 3 to 5.
