About the preschool
Open from 7:30 AM to 4:30 pm
Hamrar Preschool officially opened on February 20, 2001. It is in the middle of Víkurhverfi and, therefore, close to the shoreline and good walking trails nearby that are often used. There are four groups at the preschool: Álfaberg, Dvergasteinn, Hulduhóll, and Tröllabjarg. There are about 85 children in the preschool.
Preschool Director: Erna Jónsdóttir
Philosophy
The motto of the preschool is positivity, respect, and cooperation
The National Preschool Curriculum is based on the ideas of theorists such as Piaget, Dewey, Vygotsky, and Bateson. Nes Preschool works in this spirit and also has a focus on play and childhood literacy. Play is the children's main way of learning and therefore the primary focus of the preschool. Preschoolers' expression of themselves is naturally free and spontaneous through play, and it serves as the foundation for all aspects of their early education.
