Storskogåsen Student Kindergarten

We are close to the city center as well as some of the most beautiful nature areas in Tromsø. The kindergarten has a capacity of a total of 46 children across three bases and is one of the smallest student kindergartens in Tromsø. We love walks and being outdoors, and have our own gathering place in "Hekseskogen" which we use all year round.

Students, employees and PhD students at UiT are given priority, but anyone close to Storskogåsen can apply for a place in the kindergarten.

Opening hours

07.30 - 16.30

Our vision is Friendship and for all the children in the kindergarten to experience joy in everyday life. We want a kindergarten filled with laughter, joy and magical moments. We have a skilled and competent staff that facilitates safe environments and surroundings, where the child should always have someone to play with.

The common focus area in the Student Kindergartens for 2018/20 is "One hundred worlds to discover! -Play, interaction and relationships in the kindergarten." Through play, friendships are created which in turn provide joy and meaning in children's lives.

We have a nice and clear outdoor area that is used every day. Here the children can be the captain of a pirate ship, play in the sandbox or visit the barbecue hut to name a few. With its own campfire site in the "witch forest" and the light trail easily accessible, we have many opportunities for good experiences out in nature.

In the main house we have two bases for children aged 0-4 years. We have an open plan between the bases and the environment is adapted to the youngest children's routines and needs. Downstairs in a student block right next to the main house, we have large, nice rooms for 20 children aged 3 -6 years.
