Philosophy
The values of Hólaborg are happiness, health, and autonomy
In Hólaborg preschool, we follow the principles of social constructivism and theories of Lev Vygotsky on areas of possible development, Bandura's belief in one's own abilities, Dr. Ferre Leaver's on experiential learning, and Nel Nodding's on caring. We highly value the learning and well-being of all children, recognizing that everyone is important and has the same rights. Our program is centered around play and emphasizes active participation, creative thinking, and free play, with tasks tailored to the children's interests and strengths.

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 preschool activities. All Reykjavík City preschools have parent associations and parent councils.
The Center for Hólaborg
Hólaborg 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.
The contact person for Hólaborg is: Friðbjörg Gísladóttir
