Philosophy
The values of Vinagerði are joy, encouragement, and tact
Vinagerði follows the Reggio Emilia parenting philosophy, where we view children as competent, capable, and creative, as well as vulnerable. The preschool places a strong emphasis on creative work and free play, with the goal of creating an environment that stimulates curiosity and well-being. Additionally, there is a focus on environmental education, with the aim of helping children become literate about their surroundings. Vinagerði is starting a three-year development project with the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
