Who are we?

Tuppen is a preschool with five departments located in the Nordantill district of Norrköping, adjacent to several parks, the river, museums, and libraries.

Tuppen Preschool is a multicultural preschool that is part of a unit of four preschools. The best interests of the children are always our focus, and our education is characterized by development, joy, engagement, and playfulness.

Our teaching is based on the goals of the curriculum and aims for deeper knowledge for each individual child.

It is important for us that the entire day is permeated by both spontaneous and planned teaching. Our teaching activities take place indoors and outdoors in accessible learning environments.

We are inspired by an investigative approach and have faith in children's abilities and competencies. We achieve this by listening, documenting, and reflecting on their learning together with the children.

Here, we follow the children's progression and lay the foundation for lifelong learning where care, development, and learning form a whole.

We are now looking for a preschool assistant for a temporary position!

The temporary position is in a department for older children aged 2-6 years.
