Philosophy

The values of Borg are respect, responsibility, and care

Borg emphasizes play as a learning path for children and that they learn through play. Borg follows the new Reykjavík City Education Policy, "Let Dreams Come True," and places a strong focus on developing social skills and self-discipline. Play is considered work for the children and it is crucial that they have the opportunity to experience things and events for themselves. Play is their form of expression and at the same time, preparation for adulthood. The focus of the play is therefore for children to develop important skills, such as social relations, empathy, independent thinking, and initiative.

The Center for Borg

Borg Preschool falls under South Center. South Center provides a wide range of services to the residents of Breiðholt 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.

Child prosperity

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 prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services.

Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.
