Our Pedagogy

A child learns when they are seen

Everything we do serves one purpose: to make the group small enough for every child to be seen. Care, development and learning are not three separate things here. They are the same thing, and they happen at the same time — in play, at the table, in the story, out in the yard.

Why we work in small groups

Teaching happens in smaller groups.

It is not a timetable. It is the precondition for everything else. In a smaller group the educator has time to see what your child is actually trying to do — and meet them there, instead of speaking to a whole group.

No law sets the size of a group. It is a choice we make, and we have made it.

Three languages in one room

Swedish is the base. The lead teacher in each group is always Swedish-speaking. Swedish is where the child will grow, and it is what carries into school.

English is simply there, every day. Every group also has an English-speaking educator. Not as a scheduled subject — but in play, at the table, in the song.

And your child’s mother tongue does not stay at home.

Your child’s mother tongue has a place

During settling-in we sit down with you and find out which languages live in your home. We write it down — and we use it. A month later we come back to you: how has it gone, and were we right?

Then we make it visible:

We write your child’s name on their shelf — in Swedish and in their mother tongue.
At the entrance, hello is written in every language spoken here.
We have a world map where the children add words in their own languages. They stand there and talk about where their parents come from.
At circle time we count and sing in several languages.
The children get to tell us about what they celebrate at home.
Our library is in several languages — and our staff speak them.

All our educators have completed the course Multilingualism in preschool.

What the learning looks like

We read aloud every day. Books are within reach, not put away. We read together and talk about what we read — the pictures, the words, what happens next. Books can be borrowed and taken home.

Our learning tools are analogue. The children do not sit in front of screens. With the older children they are used in specific projects — for example when we explore science and technology.

Outdoors is a classroom. Not a break between activities, but part of the teaching.

The child sets the pace. Letters and writing come when the child is curious, not when the calendar says so.

If your child needs more

This is the question parents rarely ask out loud, but almost all of them carry.

If your child needs special support — for whatever reason — they must have it. It is not something we offer if we have time. It is the principal’s responsibility, and it is written into the Education Act.

And you are part of it. You have the right to take part when the support is designed. It is not decided over your head.

If you notice something at home that worries you — tell us. We listen, and we act.

Who meets your child

A certified preschool teacher leads the teaching. That is what the law says, and that is what we do.

Around her is a team: trained childcare staff and educators, several of them multilingual.

Teaching must rest on scientific grounds and proven experience. In plain words: we do not do things simply because we have always done them that way.

How you find out how it is going

At pick-up, we tell you. Not "it went well" — but what your child played, what they discovered, what you can talk about further at home.

At least once a year we hold a development talk. The preschool teacher has overall responsibility for it.

In between, we follow and document your child’s development systematically and continuously. Not for the folder’s sake — but to know what the next step is for your child.

When your child starts school

We begin preparing the transition long before it happens.

As early as the autumn term before school starts, we talk with you about how preschool and school can work together. We help you understand the municipality’s selection process and find open days.

In the spring we fill in the handover together. And there is a box that only the child fills in:
