Educator for the Baby Room, Børnehuset Villavej, Ikast

Are you a pedagogue with a heart for the youngest – and a eye for their potential?

Then you might be the one we are looking for at Børnehuset Villavej!

From 01. November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter we are seeking for a permanent position a pedagogue for our nursery. The position is initially 34 hours (the remaining 3 hours up to 37 hours are negotiable).

You will become part of a nursery group with 11-12 children aged 0-3 years , where presence, safety and good relationships are crucial for the children's well-being and development.

For us, the small moments make a big difference. It's about being close to the children, following their initiatives and creating a everyday life where they feel seen, understood and meaningful. Help the child develop roots and wings.

We are looking for you who want to be an important adult in the little children's lives. You who can see the opportunities in everyday life and who can both dive into play on the floor, create calm around meals and seize the moments when a child takes a small – but important – step in their development.

We are a house in development with a dedicated development space for shared pedagogical reflection and Action Learning. From 2027 we will work according to the quality markers in Kids as well as look into a period of continuing education for pedagogical staff.

We expect that you

• Can contribute to translating visions and pedagogical curricula so that they are felt down to the toes.

• As a person you are robust and steady, which is important for providing structure and support.
• Are loyal, flexible and development-minded in collaboration with your colleagues and contribute to the community.
• Are clear in your communication and can contribute to creating a daily life where the structure is there to support the child and not the other way around.
• Contribute and participate in the close collaboration with colleagues and parents.
• Create security and presence for the children, so they become part of the community and develop.
• Take on responsibility and be a role model for the children.
• Create a safe daily life for the children, giving room for well-being, play, learning and development within the framework we have.
