Personality characteristics are formed and self-created through a mechanism built in society and a special tool - interpersonal relationships. Relationships within educational units, between colleagues, can influence the efficiency of teachers, in order to develop a balanced educational process. The study was conducted to ascertain the quality of interpersonal relationships between directors of preschools in urban areas, teachers, preschoolers and parents of preschoolers in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, during the period of teaching activities that took place online at the beginning of 2020, starting with March 10. We conducted a sociological survey, using the questionnaire as a research tool, because the realistic concept that has earned its deserved place among theorists and practitioners, is that we should not absolutize the two terms of the educational process, teacher - subject, but must look as mutually receptive partners who are co-participants in the interaction. The directors of the pre-school units also played an important role in that period, because they have to carry out a complex activity of designing, preparing, organizing, coordinating and administering the elements involved in achieving educational objectives. The interaction of directors with teachers and parents involves complex skills.
