Education, humor and farewells at the preschool directors’ training day
Reykjavík’s preschool directors gathered at Kríunes last week for their annual training day. The day was a success, featuring a varied program that participants thoroughly enjoyed.
Department Director Steinn Jóhannsson opened the training day, and Ólafur Bjarkason addressed current issues. Anna Steinsen spoke about leaders, attitudes and joy, and after lunch, Edda Björgvins led participants in exploring humor and happiness at work. Valborg H. Guðlaugsdóttir concluded the education program with a reflection.
Farewell and thanks to preschool directors for their service
The training day also marked a milestone as attendees said farewell to four preschool directors who had stepped down: Hrafnhildur Konný Hákonardóttir (former director of Austurborg Preschool), Þóra Jóna Jónatansdóttir (former director of Geislabaugur Preschool), Júlíana Hilmisdóttir (former director of Klettaborg Preschool) and Hanna Halldórsdóttir (former director of Laugasól Preschool).
Three other preschool directors had also stepped down but were unable to attend. They were Ágústa Amalía Friðriksdóttir (former director of Bakkaborg Preschool), Ásgerður Guðnadóttir (former director of Hálsaskógur Preschool) and Svala Ingvarsdóttir (former director of Brekkuborg Preschool).
Warmest thanks to all seven for their vital contributions to early childhood education in Reykjavík, and best wishes for the future.
