Educator for the nursery at Børnehuset Regnbuen

Do you want to create a heart space for the youngest children through play, nature and presence? And are you passionate about following the children's initiatives, exploring nature with them and creating security in the small everyday moments? Then you may be our new pedagogue in the nursery.

About the workplace

The Rainbow Children’s House is a self-governing institution for children aged 0–6 years. In the nursery we currently have 16 children.

Our vision is to be a heart space in the middle of Varnæs/Bovrup, where high professionalism and warmth go hand in hand. In practice, this means that we meet the children with presence, clarity and respect and help them find security, belief in themselves and a place in the community.

With us you have the opportunity to use both the outdoor space on our large playground, the local area and our own gym hall in your pedagogical work. We are outdoors in all kinds of weather, explore nature and make room for sensory experiences. Inside we create space for movement, creativity, play and quiet moments.

About the job

You will be part of the nursery team, where you together with your colleagues plan, implement and evaluate the pedagogical work.

Your professionalism comes into play throughout the day: when you help a child enter a game, support language at the lunch table or create calm and security at bedtime. You participate in the practical tasks and have daily contact with the parents about their child’s everyday life.

Your tasks

• Create safe relationships and support the children’s well-being and development.
• Plan play and activities based on the children’s interests and needs.
• Help the children participate in play and communities.

We offer

• Influence on the nursery’s activities and learning environments.
• Opportunity to bring your interests and professional strengths into everyday life.
• Outdoor life in all kinds of weather and your own gym hall for movement and motor games.
• Collaboration with colleagues to plan and develop the pedagogical practice.
• A everyday life where you closely follow the children’s development and collaborate with their families.
• An institution where you put your professional skills into play and further develop them through sparring, further education, shared reflection and work with the children.
