In Ludvika, children and youth are important! We show this by making children and youth the center of the municipal organization. Most resources directed towards children and youth have been gathered under one committee. This includes preschool, primary school, adapted primary school, and also individual and family care. A common feature of all activities is a conscious quality effort to continuously develop and improve the work with children and youth.

The Workplace

Fredriksbergs Preschool is located about six miles from Ludvika town and has two departments with children aged 1-5 years. Environmental thinking runs like a common thread through the operations. We sort waste, compost, and grow in the preschool's greenhouse. Here you will have the chance to work in a dynamic environment where competence and responsibility are highly valued and where each day offers new, meaningful challenges. Since it is a small preschool, you as an educator have good opportunities to build close relationships with all the children and create a calm and safe environment that children need in today's society.
