About the Workplace

The staff includes two principals, a special education teacher, a pedagogista, square educators (torgetpedagoger), preschool teachers, childcare workers, and an administrator.

Timråsen Preschool consists of six departments for children aged 1-5 years. The preschool is located in the scenic Ljungenkullen area near Stamsjön, forests, meadows, and horse paddocks.
