About the preschool
A new preschool will be built on the Njálsgata plot behind Austurbæjarbíó. It will accommodate 205 children between the ages of 1 and 6 - and have 6 divisions. The school is replacing two other buildings, so the estimated number of new places is 87. The building will also house a family center. The preschool grounds will be 1,320 m² plus about 620 m² of playground area on roof gardens on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building.
The current preschool director at Miðborg Preschool is expected to run the new preschool. Miðborg Preschool currently operates at two locations: on Lindargata and on Barónsstígur.

The new Miðborgarleikskóli preschool is a part of the Bridging the Gap development initiative, which aims to bridge the gap between parental leave and preschool.
