Want to know more about Sunnuás? In this very short video, we give a glimpse of the preschool activities. It was made by Erla Stefánsdóttir and Antonía Lárusdóttir for the Department of Education & Youth.
The values of the preschool are respect, joy, and creativity
The educational philosophy at Sunnuás Preschool emphasizes that individuals are active from birth and capable of facing life's challenges. The preschool's goals are based on theories that recognize the importance of a supportive environment in promoting an individual's developmental potential and prioritizing the development of a strong sense of identity. The preschool's approach is influenced by the work of scholars such as Berita Bae, who focused on the development of self and the importance of accepting communication, and Urie Bronfenbrenner, who emphasized an individual's ability to adapt to multiple and diverse demands. These theories are used to promote the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
What's ahead for Sunnuás? In Sunnuás' operational plan, you'll find, among other things, the school's internal and external evaluations for the last year, an improvement plan, the preschool calendar, and much more.
Do you want to know more about the philosophy and daily operations of Sunnuás? In the school curriculum, you'll find detailed information about the school's philosophical emphasis and approach to play, learning, and work.
When does Sunnuás have professional development days? In the preschool calendar, you'll find information about days off and various other details.
We are all in this together, and as the proverb goes it takes a village to raise a child. Reykjavík City preschools make targeted efforts to consult with and increase parent involvement in preschool activities. All Reykjavík City preschools have parent associations and parent councils.

North Center provides a wide range of services to the residents of Laugardalur and Háaleiti and is a comprehensive information source for municipal services.
