Philosophy
The values of Lyngheimar are respect, care, and consideration
Lyngheimar's work is based on an ideology named after the city of Reggio Emilia. The main idea the preschool uses from this approach is to respect children's abilities and allowing them to gain knowledge and experience in their own way and for the to use emotions, movement, visual perception, play, and creativity in the learning process. Children should be allowed to develop their senses through imagination and creativity. Emphasis is placed on creative work in all arts and research projects.

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.

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 Lyngheimar is: Elín Einarsdóttir
