A secure learning environment in which children discover new things every day!

Fresh and modern facilities in Vega!

Our two pre-schools in Vega are located just a stone’s throw from each other, allowing educators to visit one another’s activities, draw inspiration, and collectively build a cohesive and equitable pre-school experience within our school unit. We have spacious, fresh facilities spread over two floors, featuring five departments and a library. These spaces provide plenty of room for diverse meeting areas that invite children to explore, play, imagine, and interact.

To stimulate children’s curiosity and love of learning, we follow a well-established approach centered on pedagogical staging. This means we intentionally design the physical and social environment, creating various learning spaces where teaching takes place. Our present and attentive educators actively participate in the children’s investigations and explorations, placing learning at the core of our work.

We focus daily on fostering a calm working environment by dividing the children into smaller groups, ensuring that every child has the right conditions for development, learning, and a voice in their learning journey. This approach allows us to see the unique differences and emerging abilities in each child.

Language development is a priority, with educators serving as strong linguistic role models. We work with both verbal and non-verbal communication to strengthen the children’s language skills. Through this intentional effort, we contribute to a positive impact on society, recognizing that language and communication are foundational.

Together, we make a positive difference for every individual child and the community.

Every child, regardless of their needs, should be offered a preschool that is safe and lays the foundation for learning. We provide children with accessible and inspiring environments that help them develop the right conditions to succeed and reach their full potential.

Health profile

We actively embrace our health profile, ensuring weekly physical activities while also emphasizing the importance of recovery. Research shows that physical activities enhance children’s memory, concentration, and self-esteem. As a preschool, we carry a significant responsibility in shaping our future citizens.

In both planned and spontaneous teaching, health remains a central focus. We also have two health ambassadors who take on additional responsibility in guiding and implementing our health-centered approach.

Language development approach

We prioritize a language development approach that includes both verbal language and TAKK (Signs as Alternative and Augmentative Communication), ensuring that all children have the opportunity to make their voices heard. Educators serve as linguistic role models, fostering language growth through both planned and spontaneous activities.

For the youngest children, we use Babblarna to support speech and language training. With children aged 3–4 years, we incorporate a preparatory version of the Bornholm Model through rhymes, songs, and language games. For the oldest children, we prepare them for school using the full Bornholm Model, which strengthens phonological awareness and lays the foundation for reading and writing skills.

Our goal is to create a clear and consistent path from pre-school to school, ensuring a seamless transition and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
