Philosophy

Ævintýraborg Preschool at Eggertsgata operates in the spirit of Reggio Emilia's philosophy and Caroline Pratt's conception of unit blocks. The emphasis is on learning through play, creation, literacy, children's rights, and environmental education.

 

Each child is seen as unique and having a lot to offer. A wide variety of methods are used to make the children experience the world, understand it, and perceive it in a hundred different ways.

 

We use creative environments that drive discovery learning and experiences with a focus on open subjects. Open subjects are topics or things that do not have a predetermined role or outcome and that drive children's creativity.

Reykjavík City preschools make targeted efforts to consult with and increase parent involvement in preschool activities.

 

All Reykjavík City preschools have parent associations and parent councils.
