Peer interactions and relationships of dual language learner (DLL) children in unique settings such as kindergarten are crucial as DLL children are learning their home language and culture along with a foreign language and culture (Halle et al., 2014). The purposes of this research study were to explore the perceptions of kindergarten teachers and parents about DLL children's peer relationships in kindergarten and to identify the methods and strategies they use to support and maintain these relationships. A qualitative interview design was used to gain an in-depth understanding of the peer relationships of DLL children through the lens of the kindergarten teachers and parents. A total of 18 participants were interviewed, including nine kindergarten teachers and nine non-citizen parents, from three school districts located in one metropolitan area in a midwestern state in the United States. The interviews with teachers focused on their perceptions of DLL children's peer relationships, major challenges they have faced, and methods or strategies they have used to enhance peer relationships. The interviews with parents focused on their perceptions of their children's peer relationships and how as parents, they initiate and maintain situations and strategies for facilitating their children's peer relationships and social interactions.A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data and generate main themes to address the research questions. Findings of the study indicated that teachers and parents perceived some differences for DLL children when interacting with peers who shared dual language skills and English-speaking peers. In addition, teachers and parents perceived the importance of peers' interactions that support DLL children's learning and engagement. Moreover, teachers and parents shared strategies in order to initiate and promote peer relationships of DLL children. This research study suggests that creating more social activities for DLL children to interact with same language and English-only peers, both in school and home settings, and forming effective teacher-parent' communications, will facilitate DLL children's positive relationships with peers.
