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.

Parent cooperation

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 early childhood education. All Reykjavík City preschools have parent associations and parent councils.

Support services

Reykjavík City employs a team of professionals who provide school support services for preschools and primary schools, counseling on child care and recreational activities, welfare services, and other specialized counseling and services needed to help all children actively participate in Reykjavík City's school and recreational activities and make their dreams come true. 

Child prosperity

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

Children, young people, and guardians can reach the school prosperity liaison to request integrated services.
