New Website
Raoul Wallenberg School has taken a significant step in its digital development with the launch of a new website and an updated visual identity.
We actively work to create a calm and peaceful environment in our daily operations. We achieve this through established routines, structure, and an environment that promotes free play. We use a check-in and check-out system where children have a say in their choice of activities. Children are often divided into smaller groups. For us, it is essential to listen to every child so they feel valued.
We place great emphasis on developing children’s social interactions. We discuss the meaning of being a good friend and actively work to foster children’s empathy, compassion, understanding, and respect for one another and others. Our preschool is a warm and secure place where we enjoy being together and take care of one another. Children who feel safe in their learning environment can absorb knowledge, learn how to learn, and acquire skills independently!
Our team includes both male and female educators who are passionate about their work and make a difference for the children—every day. All educators know every child at the preschool, and we collaborate across the entire building.

We are a pre-school with a clear structure. Every day is filled with security, joy, play, movement, and teaching. We have a low staff turnover, which creates a familiar and secure environment.
At our pre-schools, we promote health and the joy of movement for both children and educators. By balancing activity and rest, we enhance children’s motor skills, body awareness, and concentration. Our annual RWF Run, where children, guardians, and educators participate, is a cherished tradition that combines physical activity with a sense of community.
We actively support language development to boost children’s self-esteem and knowledge growth. Language, learning, and identity are closely connected, and we surround children with words through activities such as reading aloud, using TAKK (sign-supported communication), and visual aids like Widgit. By asking open-ended questions, we encourage children to express their thoughts and ideas, strengthening their communication skills and confidence in using language.
The pre-school is located in the heart of Skövde, in a historic and beautiful old patrician villa on Stenkilsgatan 8.
The departments feature many spacious rooms that invite children to explore, play, and interact. The yard is surrounded by tall, beautiful trees and bushes encircling the entire preschool. Located directly across from Vasaskolan, the pre-school is easily accessible by public transportation.
We spend time outdoors twice a day. The pre-school has a yard surrounding the entire building, divided into four zones. The youngest children have their own yard, where they can explore and discover their environment at a calmer pace. We follow an activity plan that often includes football games, group movement dances, or obstacle courses.
Play is a vital part of active learning, which is why we integrate play extensively into the learning process. Music that inspires movement is a natural part of our daily routine. We also have a dedicated health profile, including activities such as yoga, various sports, obstacle courses, and mindfulness exercises. The older children regularly go on excursions. Storytime and creative activity stations are held outdoors whenever the weather permits.
The pre-school has four departments distributed across four floors. As the children grow older, their department is located higher up in the building. We have a library within the preschool where children can borrow books for their department.
The older children use a check-in and check-out system, giving them influence over their choice of activities. We often divide the children into smaller groups, both during teaching and educational activities.
At Raoul Wallenberg School in Skövde, there are 514 students. Two of them, Amanda Lindqvist (Grade 8) and Jacob Aldén (Grade 9), are both very satisfied with their choice of school. In this feature, they offer us a glimpse into their school day and warmly recommend RWS to others. When the option of “Student’s Choice” […]
