A parameter is a quantity of a variable representing certain characteristic of a population.
A statistic is a quantity of a variable representing certain characteristic of a sample.

Of the 349 parents, 47% said they sent their children to pre-kindergarten.
That is the sample proportion is, = 0.47.
