Experienced educator for a Reggio Emilia-inspired institution in Ry

Full-time educator position as of January 1, 2027 at Børnegården Lynghoved.

We are a children's house under the Ry day care, seeking a creative and engaging colleague to work with. The position is currently in the kindergarten, but you should also be able to see yourself working in our nursery.

In Børnegården Lynghoved we have 60 kindergarten children and 34 nursery children, spread over 2 buildings. We work with age-separated groups and the staff rotate every year or every other year between the groups. In this way we try to achieve a large community for the whole institution, which enables knowledge sharing and a very good knowledge of each other and each other’s work situations.

We also work value-based and from a view of humankind inspired by Reggio Emilia's approach, where relationships between people are central. We believe children and adults have the right to be participatory and culture-creating in their own learning processes. This means that we pay attention to what interests the children and that we let ourselves be inspired by them when we work on projects.

Therefore we work a lot with our curiosity and wonder together with the children and rarely follow a planned path from project start to finish. Here there is room for all that has not necessarily seen the light of day before. We also put effort into the interior design and believe that the environment has great significance for all of our well-being.

In Børnegården Lynghoved we have an open dialogue with the parents, where small talk, presence and engagement in the family's life are a supporting prerequisite for our professional work. With us, the whole family starts in the institution, not only the child. Accordingly, we encourage parents to feel free to be here and have the opportunity to contribute to their child's life in the institution.

In the staff group we work purposefully with our professionalism and a wish that we improve together. Each of us takes personal responsibility for our choices and dares to make mistakes from which we can learn. We also use coaching/support with each other in developing our professionalism. About 3 times a year we work in pedagogical network groups, where educators and assistants each have a professional reflection space. Professional discussions also have ample room in staff meetings … and yes, we simply get along well with each other, in all our differences.
