We are an innovative preschool that challenges the traditional structure and operations of preschools. Our working method is called EduZone and is unique to Norlandia. The children are divided into 4 groups; we have no departments but instead a preschool consisting of 4 challenging educational environments where the whole child can explore and develop all their abilities at the same time. IKT is part of our work in our educational environments. Doesn't that sound exciting? Don't you want to challenge yourself in your pedagogical role and come to us?

With us, you have the opportunity to keep up with societal developments regarding preschool and school. A good value base means giving children an inner compass that they can trust and strengthening them throughout life. We believe that we at preschool have the opportunity to lay the foundation for children for the rest of their lives.

At Norlandia Preschools, we focus on contributing to a sustainable world. As a preschool assistant, you will be proactive in working with sustainability issues through our concepts that are part of the curriculum. For us, daily physical movement is a must for both the children and for you as an adult, where you actively participate in and drive Norlandiaskuttet together with your colleagues. Meal pedagogy, organic and certified food is a given for us.

You have a good attitude towards children, parents, and colleagues, characterized by the belief that everyone wants and can. We want to be a learning organization where you as a preschool assistant are expected to learn and develop together with your colleagues. We place great importance on your ability to collaborate and that you take responsibility for creating a good work environment through a positive attitude and energetic work joy.
