Who are we

As the only one in Ballerup Municipality, the “Børnehuset Nord- and Sydpolen & Isbjerget” is separated on three premises with a physical distance. We are distributed with a preschool, a kindergarten, and an age-integrated department. Therefore we are in daily life “smaller institutions” within the large one.

Nordpolen is a small independent department normed for 65 kindergarten children distributed across three rooms. However, we have a large group of older children during winter and spring. We are 10 staff and a kitchen assistant for our lunch arrangement.

Nordpolen is part of District Skovvejen, located in a lovely natural area close to Harreskoven, meadow and marsh. In the district there are four kindergartens: Nord- and Sydpolen & Isbjerget, Ved Skoven, Lundegården and Valhalla. Together we are about 90 staff and about 400 children.

Each kindergarten has one or two pedagogical leaders close to the core task. In addition, we have a district leader who, in close collaboration with the pedagogical leaders, takes care of co-creating a common direction and professional development in the district.

We have networks for nature, culture, language and internship supervision and an annual joint competence development day. In our district there are long traditions of working across teams on larger activities such as Det skolestartende barn (the child starting school), Samba processions, Potato race, Medieval project, and more.
