About the Position

The Northern Preschool Area consists of two preschools: Slätthög, located in the countryside, and Moheda Preschool, located in the town of Moheda. The vacant position is at the Moheda Preschool.

We work based on a joint project that spans the academic year, integrating our prioritized goals.

At Moheda/Slätthög, we actively work on pedagogical development and have high ambitions to continuously develop our education and ourselves, primarily through collegial learning that occurs in both spontaneous meetings and organized group settings.

We have a developed documentation process where systematic quality work is used as a tool to visualize and develop the learning processes occurring in the activity, allowing us to follow the progression of the individual child, as well as to plan, implement, and evaluate teaching and activities. Documentation and systematic quality work are the engine of our activity and, in our view, important and fundamental prerequisites for offering a high-quality preschool – a preschool we can be proud of! To support our work, we have a pedagogist and a special education teacher. We view everyone in our activity as competent: children, parents, and staff.

• conduct teaching based on research and proven experience so that the curriculum's goals and intentions are met and that each child's development and learning are promoted
• engage with current research and connect this to systematic quality work
• participate in systematic quality work by planning, documenting, following up, evaluating, and reflecting individually and together with the work team regarding education and teaching to develop the pedagogical work.
• conduct education such that care, development, and learning form a whole
• connect spontaneously arising activities and interests, everyday situations, and routines to goal-directed teaching from a whole-day perspective.
• design education and teaching based on children's conditions and needs
• design pedagogical environments both outdoors and indoors so that they inspire development and learning, challenge, and stimulate children's interest and curiosity.
