About the Workplace

Vitklintens Preschool is located in the heart of Rosengård and offers a stimulating and language-developing environment where children's language and culture are seen as assets. With seven departments and an inspiring outdoor environment, we work thematically with "We are Malmö" to strengthen children's participation in their city and give them a voice in democratic work.

At Vitklinten, language development is a natural part of everyday life. We integrate children's mother tongues through songs, stories, and language games, and our educators use methods such as dialogic reading and targeted playgroups. Through long-term strategies like Läslyftet and Före Bornholmsmodellen, we systematically work to develop our operations. We place great importance on exploring our local environment and combining learning with movement. Through planned activities and play stations, children have the opportunity to develop both linguistically and motorically in a safe and inspiring environment.

Vitklinten is characterized by a strong community where we see diversity as a strength. Our goal is to create an inclusive preschool where all children feel seen, heard, and validated in their language development.

The Preschool Administration is one of Malmö's largest administrations. We have approximately 4,560 employees who meet around 15,600 children and their guardians every day at one of our 190 preschools.
