About the preschool

Múlaborg Preschool was formally opened in January 1975. Múlaborg preschool has always been a place where both children with and without disabilities can learn and grow together in an inclusive environment. Múlaborg is a four-group preschool for 80 children aged 1 to 6. The groups are called Kisudeild, Bangsadeild, Ungadeild, and Hvolpadeild. Three new groups were added in 2023, Krummadeild, Lundadeild, and Ugludeild.

Philosophy

The values of Múlaborg are respect, trust, and equality

 

At Múlaborg preschool, we use the concepts of experience, interest, and activity from John Dewey and Howard Garner's theory of multiple intelligences to guide our teaching approach. We also incorporate ideas from Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky on the construction of knowledge. As an inclusive school, we prioritize equality and inclusivity in all aspects, including promoting equal rights for women and men, and creating a welcoming environment for children with and without disabilities to learn, work, and interact together. At Múlaborg, we provide advice for teaching children with disabilities to professionals and other interested parties.
