Karolina Preschool is a meeting place where important relationships are built to develop in a positive shared environment. We see preschool as a place for children to engage in democratic issues and be involved in various decisions. We cherish each other's differences and take advantage of each other's knowledge and abilities. Our differences are an asset in our mission to create equality and to acquire new skills. We start from the learning child who has their own voice, experiences, and abilities. Everyone at the preschool should be met based on their own value, be acknowledged, listened to, and taken seriously.

• Help children develop their social skills such as cooperating, sharing, and resolving conflicts.
• Participate in documenting children's development and learning by observing and noting their progress and challenges.
• Communicate with guardians.
• Assist during meals, rest, and hygiene.

As a preschool assistant, you have an invaluable role in helping and inspiring children in their activities. It is an important and varied job where you need to be prepared for each day to be different. The position is in our younger department with children aged 1-2 years, but as needed, you will also work in our other departments.

Qualifications

As a person, we see that you are flexible and easily adapt to different situations and needs in the operation. You are stable and secure in your professional role, which creates trust among both children and colleagues. We value that you have good collaboration skills, as the work is based on us creating a stimulating and safe environment together. Additionally, you are relationship-building and have the ability to establish positive and trusting relationships with children, guardians, and colleagues.
