Preschool
Lindargata 26 / Njálsgata 9-11 / Njálsgata 70
101 Reykjavík
Miðborg preschool is a 6-division school that opened in 2011 as a result of the merger of three preschools: Lindarborg at Lindargata 26, Njálsborg on Njálsgata 9-11, and Barónsborg on Njálsgata 70. Our focus is on building strong partnerships and collaboration with the diverse and vibrant community in the city center. This allows for fun and varied field trips that give children a deeper understanding of their community. On average, there are 120 children enrolled at Miðborg at any given time, but the age range of the children varies between divisions and based on circumstances. The divisions are named Regnbogaland, Krílakot, Klöpp, Hæð, Krossfiskadeild, Kuðungadeild, and Skeljadeild. The oldest children of the preschool attend Hæð.

The strategy and vision of our preschool are currently being developed, but play is a top priority. We also place a strong emphasis on promoting multiculturalism, ensuring that the diversity of all who attend the preschool is celebrated and embraced every day. We recognize that everyone is unique, and we strive to create an environment where everyone can participate and feel welcomed on their own terms as the strength of our society lies in its diversity.

Miðborg Preschool falls under West Center. West Center provides a wide range of services to the residents of Vesturbær, Miðborg, and Hlíðar 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.
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 contact person in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The contact person offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can contact the school contact person to request integrated services.
The contact person for Miðborg is: Inga Sólborg Ingibjargardóttir
