Outdoors
Our preschool is located in Guldheden, a child friendly residential area in central Gothenburg.
Outdoor play is one of the important pedagogic activities at our
preschool. Scientific studies show that the outdoor environment
influences the human "biological clock" which is vital for the
immune system. With the exception of extreme weather conditions,
the children at our preschool have outdoor play scheduled in their
daily activities.
In addition to the accessible outdoor play areas, we are located
very close to the Mossen's natural park for frequent adventures and
exploration. At our preschool we use nature as a tool to develop
aesthetic aspects in children. Our pedagogic goals focus on
improving the children’s relationship to the nature by learning to
respect and preserve the nature.
We are located very close to the science park - Universium, Museum of World Culture and the amusement park - Liseberg.
Indoors and Play
Materials
At our preschool we have high standards with respect to children’s mobility. We believe that children should be provided with ample indoor space for an active play to explore their imaginations, reflect and learn. Our preschool is well-organized with spacious pathways that enable children to move freely from one activity to another.
At our preschool, there is no compromise
when it comes to the exposure to toxic chemicals. It is a general
fact that the ambience and the composition of play materials
have an important role in the physical and psychological
development of children. Several scientific studies show that,
despite the governmental regulations and directives, some of the
toys might pose health hazards.
We have been developing an action plan considering various facts and studies on the safety of play materials. Following our policy, majority of the play materials at our preschool are made of wood and the play materials made of plastics are avoided as much as possible. The very few collection of plastic toys at our preschool would be periodically subjected to review .
