Mission Statement

The kindergarten’s goal is to create a safe environment which supports a child’s growth and allows them to have a wide range of friends. We want to enable the children to grow as self-confident, well-balanced people of the world.

English is used throughout the day, in all activities. Our primary linguistic goal is to understand and speak basic English. We hope to be able to create a positive and tolerant attitude towards other languages, cultures and individuals. An important part of our work is to support and help families in the up-bringing of their children.

Our foundation values are:

• Tolerance
• Honesty and fairness
• Consideration and respect for others
• Good manners
• Emotional support.

Hansa community

The environment is cosy and peaceful which together with open relations and good planning help to create a good foundation for life long learning. Professional, constantly learning and well motivated staff support the child’s development, learning and wellbeing along with the parents.

Hansa forms a strong community with children, their families and staff. The children spend a lot of time together playing games, often with very mixed age groups. Friendships develop, but at the same time groups vary so much that nobody is left alone.

We are very concerned that no teasing will take place, and disagreements are always solved in such a manner that all parties involved are able to tell their side of the story. Children are encouraged to be self-confident and talk about their feelings.
