Ævintýraborg Preschool on Nauthólsvegur operates in the spirit of Reggio Emilia's philosophy. The objective is to encourage children to use all their senses and work in a targeted manner to activate original and creative thinking. The core idea is for children to grow through experimentation, so that they have the opportunity to use their talents to become creative, critical, and independent individuals in today's society. There is an emphasis on teachers writing down the discoveries and ideas of the children.
Ævintýraborg on Nauthólsvegur falls under West Center. West Center provides a wide range of services to the residents of Vesturbær, Miðborg, and Hlíðar and is a comprehensive information source for municipal services. The Center provides welfare services, school services to preschool and primary schools, day care and recreational counseling, and various other services.
We are all in this together, and as the proverb goes it takes a village to raise a child. 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.
The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a contact person in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The contact person offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can contact the school contact person to request integrated services.
The contact person for Ævintýraborg on Nauthólsvegur is: Linda Ósk Sigurðardóttir
