Early years teacher

The Nipert day nursery consists of three groups for children aged 1-5 years in modern facilities set in a nature-rich environment. In winter we have access to a nearby skating rink, and year-round we go on excursions to the nearby forest. Movement is an important part of our daily life — our bedrooms also function as gym spaces. Our 5-year-olds participate every other week in the Play and Movement project in Kameleonten, where they participate in guided gym sessions. In our staff we include, in addition to pedagogical personnel, a kitchen assistant and a day-care assistant shared with Fågelsången. At Nipert’s day nursery we value genuine engagement to develop the pedagogical activity in accordance with the early childhood education plan. We work purposefully based on a clear didactic model that supports planning, implementation and systematic pedagogical documentation. The activity is based on the interests of the children and the different learning areas. Through observation and documentation of the children’s play and activity we can identify their interests and needs and further develop the activity. Play is a central part of our operations, where play and learning go hand in hand and permeate both approach and content. Our aim is that everyone, both children and adults, should feel welcome and involved in our activity. Cooperation and open communication are central values for us.
