Tussmötevägen is a "staff cooperation", whitch means that the staff together owns the Pre-escool. It is divided into three sibling sections: Lyan, Holken and Grytet. There are ca 20 children from the age: one to seven, and three teatchers in each section. Our sections are very opened and the children are not obliged to stay in their specific sections for more than lunch and circle-time. During the time for outdoor or free play, all three sections are mixed up. We have also divided the children into so called"across-groups" according to their ages, for the planned art-activites. Tussmötevägen does not want to be associated with a specific alignment, even though we work a lot with creativeness and the environment. Our goal is to integrate the environment in the daily routines and make the children aware of the inportance of recycling. We have chosen to work mostly with creative art as our highest priority. To reach the goal of creativity we have taken away a lot of toys and instead intruduce our children to different materials with which they can be creative.

We work with different themes. This term we work with: "LOVE" in all three sections. Our aim is to educate strong, curious, social and democratic children. We want the children to be able to decide as much as possible over their own lives. We work with computers and we also work a lot with early reading and counting. Now some pictures from resting-time Whoooahh!
