About the Little Preschool Class

The Little Preschool Class is a specially adapted activity within the preschool class at Katrineberg School in the City of Mölndal. The activity is aimed at children who, prior to starting school, have significant intellectual challenges and cognitive difficulties and who need a smaller and more structured learning environment.

The purpose of the Little Preschool Class is to give the children a secure and accessible start in the world of school, as well as to create good conditions for learning and development. During the year, the activity works with pedagogical observations and assessments that form the basis for the child's continued schooling prior to transitioning to an adapted primary school.

The Little Preschool Class is conducted within the primary school system, and children do not need a formal diagnosis to participate. The work takes place in close collaboration between educators, student health services, guardians, and central municipal functions. The activity is characterized by clear structure, high adult presence, and a relational approach where the children's needs are at the center.
