About the preschool
The new nursery school at Hallgerðargata is tailored to the needs of young children from the ages of 12 months to three years. Children aged 12 to 24 months are enrolled, and parents need to apply for a transfer at the beginning of the year their child turns 3 years old. The preschool houses 60 children and operates in two divisions. Nursery schools take in children aged 12 to 24 months. You need to apply for a transfer to another preschool in the year your child turns 3 years old. The preschool has two locations; the other location is the nursery school in Bríetartún.
City of Reykjavík preschools follow the National Preschool Curriculum with reference to the Reykjavík City Education Policy. It focuses on encouraging children's discovery and play and making them active participants in a democratic society.

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.
