We have a common strategy for education in our municipality: to create a coherent education chain that contributes to greater equality, improved learning outcomes and attractive education. We want all children, young people and adults to have the opportunity to reach their full potential and develop their knowledge and skills. We know that this is based on committed, knowledgeable and professional staff who provide high-quality teaching. We make a difference every day and are proud of our mission. Our work contributes to the confidence of children and young people. We work together to ensure that children and pupils develop and grow up safely. We teach children to read, write and count. We help develop children's imagination and belief in their own abilities. We support children and pupils to live an independent life. We have Sweden's most important job - our mission is to give young people confidence in the future. At Bergatrollet, safety and enjoyment are the basis for learning. We want to stimulate the children's linguistic and communicative development, their mathematical development, their creativity and their interest in nature and the environment. We take advantage of the children's curiosity and provide choices for their play and imagination. Bergatrollet Preschool is located in Tomtebo and has six departments where children play and learn in age-appropriate groups. The departments are adapted to the children's maturity and interests both in terms of environment and activities. The youngest children are in Bäcken, Stubben, Berget and Mossan, and the oldest children are in Trädet and Stenen. At Bergatrollet we work to create challenging and inspiring environments for learning both indoors and outdoors. We are close to nature with both forest areas and Lake Nydala. We go on regular excursions in Carlslidsskogen or around Nydalasjön. The children get to explore, discover, learn and have positive experiences of our nature. The children face increasing challenges, both in the environment and in activities, and meet many peers. The visibility and accessibility of the material encourages interaction with others, where the challenge is an important part of the children's development and learning.
