Philosophy

The motto of Stakkaborg is joy, physical activity, and friendship

The preschool's philosophy is based on the ideas of John Dewey, who believed that children learn best through their own experiences and that they should be active and creative in their play. At Stakkaborg, the children have daily outdoor activities and organized exercise. The younger children do these activities inside the preschool, while the older children have sports class at the Háteigsskóli gymnasium.

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 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 is: Hekla Dögg Sveinbjarnardóttir
