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.
