Philosophy

The values of Seljaborg are play, communication, and joy of learning

Seljaborg Preschool follows the Reykjavík Education Policy where the emphasis is for all children to grow, develop and feel happy in a democratic society that is based on human rights and respect for the diversity of human life. Seljaborg emphasizes that it is important to develop children's social skills because they are the foundation for becoming active members of society. We believe that friendship needs to be fostered and that children are social creatures who need opportunities to communicate and express themselves in many different ways. When children have strong communication and play skills, it helps them develop their social skills and strengthens their sense of self.

The Center for Seljaborg

Seljaborg Preschool falls under South Center. South Center provides a wide range of services to the residents of Breiðholt 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.

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.
