Educators for a new start at the Learning House's day care - kindergarten

Are you a pedagogue (pædagog) and dream of creating the best conditions for a good early childhood life, then perhaps it is you we need in our kindergarten's new start and new story.

We are seeking nine trained pedagogues, and therefore both you and your best colleague or fellow student can apply for jobs in the same kindergarten, where you together can make a difference for children and parents.

Our kindergarten is currently being rebuilt, so you and your colleagues will have the opportunity to shape the physical framework in a way that supports safety, well-being and development for all children.

Our new premises will be inaugurated and taken into use by children and adults in mid-February 2027. Prior to opening you and your colleagues will have started about 14 days beforehand to ensure you have ample time to get to know each other, discuss and develop pedagogy, practice, structure, routines, collaboration basis, etc.

The day care is located in the Nærheden area and close to the scenic Hedeland, where you, your colleagues and the children can go out to sense and discover nature together. In Hedeland there are many opportunities to have great nature experiences. You can among other things find edible, beautiful and interesting plants, fruits and seeds as well as go on a quest for small animals and insects.

The day care is located in the middle of a new and cozy urban environment with small green oases, a main street with small shops such as a bakery, butcher, flower shop and library, a train station, etc., which provides good opportunities to give the children lots of good and educational experiences that awaken natural curiosity about the immediate surroundings.

Come by our kindergarten. You are very welcome to drop by Læringshuset's day care, either on a day we agree on, or when we hold an open house for interested applicants. In the course of the renovation of the kindergarten, interior design has been considered so that we can offer the near and the safe for children and parents.

The day care will house five toddler groups and five kindergarten groups. In addition to group rooms for all, there are also small niches, a large motor hall, pedagogical kitchens in both toddler and kindergarten, a large theater, a brand new and unique playground.

Læringshuset's day care is located in the same building as Læringshuset's school, and we work closely with the school and the after-school program regarding creating safe transitions for our shared children.

Læringshuset's day care will continue to work project-oriented and with a basis in the 21st century competencies. For us this means that alongside relational work, we also work with LAHOPL, which is Playful Authentic Hands-On Project-Based Learning Processes. The expertise will be in focus, so the pedagogical quality is high, and the environment for the children is safe and developmental in both the small and large communities.

Therefore we have also decided that the pedagogical practice should take its starting point in NEST. Particularly with a focus on visual support, organization, group division and focus on looking behind children's behavior and initiatives.

Your upcoming pedagogical leader is looking forward to meeting you and will during onboarding period get to know you well so the collaboration becomes trusting and constructive. You will have a leader who is empathetic, present and close to practice. Together with the pedagogical leader in the toddler group, she is focused on supporting the development of a professionally strong and professional community that has an eye for what is good for children.

The leadership in Læringshuset's day care will set the frame for the start-up period and participate in establishing sustainable structures and organizing that give you and your colleagues the opportunity to keep focus on the children’s learning, development and well-being.

Together for the Kindergarten In Høje Taastrup Municipality there is particular focus on ensuring a good establishment process for Læringshuset's kindergarten, which means that you, your leader and your colleagues have 14 days together, where you will gain in-depth knowledge of the child view on which all day care centers in the municipality stand, as well as introduction to different approaches and methods used in the municipality. This includes NEST and COS among others. There will also be two fixed intervention pedagogues attached to the start, who support the joint professional and social development.

You will get a job where we offer you

• Introduction to NEST and COS and a learning and development room with professional colleagues and intervention pedagogues focusing on implementing COS and NEST pedagogy in the close everyday life and practice.
• Development opportunities: You will have the opportunity to contribute to professional roles such as Professional Beacon, Language Advisor and Internship Supervisor. We support your professional development and give you the opportunity to take responsibility and specialize in these roles.
• Flexibility and balance: Læringshuset's day care is part of a day care cluster that places great emphasis on flexible planning of work so that a balance between work and private life can be achieved.

We are looking for pedagogues who think this sounds like an exciting opportunity to help build and develop our kindergarten. We would like you to:

• have a passion for working with children and want to be part of an inclusive pedagogy where strong child communities are central.
• be curious about and interested in the NEST method and want to explore it together with us
• have an interest in working with children's linguistic development and create conditions that support this.
• contribute with engagement and new ideas for the development of pedagogical practice
• want to actively participate in the development of practice and further develop your competencies
• have an eye for creating structures and organization that are valuable for your own room and for the community
• value collaboration and want to actively help build a good collegiality based on cooperation, trust and good communication.

If you have a colleague you work well with, feel free to bring your colleague along and apply together.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard , where a professional and skilled team will prepare you well for the task and support you with the best conditions so you and your new colleagues get a good start both professionally and socially.
