Are you passionate about creating inspiring play communities, strong relationships and developmental learning environments for children aged 3-6 years?

At Føvling Child Center we believe that children develop best through play, curiosity and participation in communities. Therefore we are looking for an engaged and present pedagogical staff for a 35-hour-per-week maternity leave position, who wants to actively be a part of the children's play and everyday life.

Therefore we actively use our outdoor areas year-round and create learning environments where play and curiosity are the driving forces.

We are an institution in positive development with a focus on high pedagogical quality, strong communities and a good working environment. With us you have the opportunity to make your mark on everyday life and contribute with your ideas, experiences and competencies.

We offer

  • a strong and engaged collegial community
  • a workplace focused on professional development and sparring
  • approachable management and support in daily life

  • close and positive collaboration with parents
  • a daily life characterized by well-being, humor and engagement
