Educator for Børnehuset Kildespring – be part of shaping a house in development (re-advertisement)

Do you have a passion for creating safe, developmental and present learning environments for children in either nursery or kindergarten? With us, you won’t just get a job. You’ll have the opportunity to be a co-creator of the culture, the working communities, and the pedagogical practice that should characterize Børnehuset Kildespring.

We are looking for an educator with experience from either nursery or kindergarten, where the above forms part of your professional practice.

Børnehuset Kildespring

Børnehuset Kildespring is a large house with nursery and kindergarten at opposite ends, each with their own playground. We are an open house where children can also mingle across. In the kindergarten, we can have up to 63 children distributed across three rooms. And in the nursery, we can have 36 children distributed across three rooms. Each room typically has 3 dedicated pedagogical staff members. In addition, we have a kitchen assistant who takes care of meals and food joy for the whole house every day.

You will become part of a house that is finding itself again after an organizational split and with new leadership, but that is well underway with strengthening culture, direction and professional practice.
