Educator for maternity leave replacement at Børnegården Toftlund

Because one of our skilled employees in the toddler group is going on maternity leave, we are looking for an educator to step into her maternity leave substitute.

At Børnegården in Toftlund we work with the Strengthened Curriculum, where we focus on stimulating learning environments that create the best conditions for the children both outside and inside. We are a house that professionally encompasses and qualifies general pedagogy for ages 0 - 6 years as well as special pedagogy for children in vulnerable positions. Can you contribute to this? Then we currently offer an exciting maternity leave substitute with good colleagues.

We would like the start on November 1, 2026. The position is 30 hours per week.

The position is in our toddler group, but since we work as a single house, you must be prepared to work with the entire children’s group aged 0 - 6 years.

We expect that our new colleague

• can and will contribute to the pedagogical practice
• has an overview and can work independently in small learning groups and likewise contribute professionally in larger communities
• is inspiring and can translate ideas and visions into actions
• can alternate between necessary structured work situations and spontaneous actions
• is open, flexible and cooperative
• can be a clear, stable and present professional for both children, parents and colleagues.

At Børnegården Toftlund we aspire to be characterized by an appreciative and inclusive pedagogical environment. For us this means that we, among other things, prioritize

• creating an environment with a good atmosphere that radiates warmth and welcomingness
• having close collaboration with the parents and creating a secure everyday life for everyone
• caring for each child’s learning, development and well-being and creating wholeness in the child’s everyday life
• activities taking place on the children’s premises and level of understanding
• being a professional and engaged staff group that also places a high value on the social and humorous side.

At Børnegården Toftlund we have 71 children and 22 staff. We are an age-integrated institution with children aged 0-6 years, and in addition we have a attached special group with whom we work closely in relation to general and special pedagogy.
