About the job

Swedish International Preschool (SIF) in Hässelby is a bilingual preschool with just under 20 places, where children encounter both Swedish and English in their daily lives. We see the children as global citizens and create a secure, exploratory, and educational environment where language, play, and learning go hand in hand.

The preschool is located at Mäster Karls väg 5 in Hässelby, close to Lake Mälaren, parks, and natural areas in Riddersvik, offering excellent opportunities for outdoor activities and nature-based teaching. Our newly renovated preschool is designed to be welcoming and safe, with a personal atmosphere and close relationships between children, guardians, and educators.

We are a small and family-like unit with a clear international profile, bilingual operations (Swedish/English), and a strong focus on children's language development. We believe in the power of an early bilingual environment and provide children with good conditions to develop both Swedish and English.
