Close to play, strong in professionalism – are you Solsikken's new educator or pedagogical assistant?

Are you ready to follow children's curiosity, bring play to life and put your pedagogical ideas into practice? At Børnehuset Solsikken in Gislinge we are looking for a pedagog to 37 hours for the kindergarten, who will be where everyday life happens – in the middle of play, in the safe relationships and in the small moments that make a big difference. Here there is room for both professional depth, new ideas and a good laugh with colleagues. We are a house in motion, and we want you with us.

Who are we? Solsikken is an integrated institution and part of Dagtilbud Katrinedal, which consists of 8 institutions and day care. In the area we have a strong focus on doing together what makes sense. Including pedagogical workshops for staff, and culture- and learning festival with a focus on the children.

Solsikken is located in the middle of Gislinge town, and we are about 110 children distributed across both Kindergarten and nursery.

En hverdag med tydelige rammer og plads til fordybelse In the kindergarten since August 2025 we have been working with a functionally divided structure. The traditional rooms have been replaced by clear learning environments with space for, among other things, creative activities, pretend play as a shopkeeper, construction play and motor activities. Here we follow the childrencre curiosity and bring our diverse professional strengths into play. In the after-hours the kindergarten is open and flexible, so the children largely can choose what and whom they want to play and immerse themselves with.

Clear, visual frameworks help the children find calm and overview in daily life. We eat in small, relationship-based groups, where there is room for immersion and good conversations.

As an employee you become part of a team that together plans the monthf s theme and arranges pedagogical activities in small groups of children. It provides an opportunity to be close to the children, follow their initiatives and create time for immersion. The structure forms the framework for a daily life where both children and adults can bring their competences into play.

In Børnehuset Solsikken we prioritise the good transition from day care to school, and we believe that a strong foundation is created through independence, social competences and relational security – not through an early focus on numbers and letters. For us it is important that the children develop the courage to try themselves, the ability to be a good friend and the security of being able to call on an adult when they need it.

We safeguard that children are allowed to be children for as long as possible, and we create frameworks where their curiosity, play and natural development are allowed to flourish before school start.

Parent collaboration is a completely central part of our work – we prioritise a close, respectful and open dialogue, where the parents are seen as important partners around the individual child. The leadership is clearly present from the first onboarding meeting, where we ensure a good introduction, security in the transition and a strong relationship to both children and parents from day one.

ICDP is a natural part of our pedagogical foundation. In Holbæk Municipality all employees must have an ICDP training. If you do not already have the training, you will be offered it as part of your employment with us.
