About the preschool

The preschool is open from 7:30am to 4:30pm

Klettaborg Preschool is in Hamrahverfi in Grafarvogur, next to the district's primary school. When the preschool opened on June 1, 1990, there were three divisions, but in February 2004 a fourth division was added. Fálkaklettur and Arnarklettur are for the older children and Hrafnaklettur and Kríuklettur are for the younger children. Around 71 children between the ages of one and six attend the preschool at any given time.

The Preschool Director is Júlíana S. Hilmisdóttir

Philosophy

The values of Klettaborg are joy, respect, and safety

 


At Klettaborg preschool, we prioritize creating a positive and creative language environment where joy, respect, and safety are at the forefront in children's communication and surroundings. Our vision is that children will actively seek knowledge and be eager to take on the challenges of everyday life. To achieve this vision, we primarily use John Dewey's theories in our philosophy of education, which emphasizes that children are independent, thinking individuals who construct their own experiences to develop and learn.

The Center for Klettaborg

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.
