Using qualitative methods, interviews were conducted with 17 preschool teachers and 15 parents. Findings highlight the need for language education, cultural sensitivity, psychosocial support, and stronger school-family collaboration. Teachers emphasised addressing language deficiencies, enhancing cultural awareness, and providing emotional support. Recommendations include developing targeted educational policies, training teachers to meet immigrant students’ needs, and creating family support programmes. This study offers valuable insights for improving immigrant students’ educational experiences, benefiting policymakers, educators, and families.
