Sustainability has been a common thread through our preschools in recent years, focusing on developing methods to successfully work with sustainability issues together with the children, while also allowing sustainability to permeate everything we do, from systematic work environment efforts to purchasing and value-based work. All aimed at a more sustainable present and future.

Children's literature holds great value and runs as a common thread through our preschools and their projects, as well as the important curiosity for reading and visual language.
