Gimle Student Kindergarten

Our kindergarten, of around 60 children, have a great and varied outdoor area that is used for play, exploration, and physical activity every day of the year. There is also a kitchen garden in this outdoor area, for the kids to learn how to grow vegetables and herbs. Community, friendship and working together across cultures and traditions is our core value. On of our bases is Gearpmaš, reserved for children of a Sami background. Children here can develop their Sami language, and experience their culture.

Opening hours

07.30 - 16.30

Our goal is for EVERYONE to feel welcome at Gimle Student Kindergarten.

Every child will have the opportunity to play, learn and have meaningful experiences in their everyday lives. We view cultural diversity as something positive for play and learning.

Another focus is "from the earth to the table". We actively use both nature and digital tools to learn about food.

Our outdoor areas are dividied in three, to create variety. The children help grow vegetables, fruits and herbs. We also use the surrounding areas for hiking.

We open at 7:30 and eat brought food for breakfast at 9:00. Every day warm lunch is served between 12:30-13:30 and fruit at around 15:00. Play, exploration and educational activities take place both indoors and outdoors. The bases work together and the children get to know all the adults in the kindergarten. Most children are outside for a period between 10.30 and 13.00. When we go outside, it is important to give the children room to manage themselves.

The little ones sleep in carriages in airy rooms outside. Versatile activity should characterize the outdoor time for children and adults. The bases have fixed outdoor hiking days. The children will experience play, joy, closeness, attention and learning throughout the day. The preschool children have their own program with focus on play and learning one day a week.
