RE-ADVERTISEMENT - Do you want to help create strong children's communities at Børnehuset Mælkevejen?

We are looking for a pedagogue or pedagogical assistant for our nursery and kindergarten respectively.

Are you passionate about pedagogy? Are you focused on children's play, development and communities? And would you like to be part of a day care where we together develop a strong pedagogical culture?

Then it might be you we are looking for!

At Milky Way Children's House we are seeking two new colleagues who want to make a difference for the children and help set the direction for the pedagogical everyday life. We are looking for one staff member for the nursery and one staff member for the kindergarten.

With us, it is the children who should succeed

We believe that all children do the best they can, and that it is our responsibility as professional adults to create the best conditions for all children to succeed.

We have a resource-oriented view of children, where we meet children with positive expectations, curiosity and respect for their individual prerequisites.

We are concerned with the child in the community. All children should experience that they belong, matter and have the opportunity to participate in meaningful communities.

It requires present adults, strong relationships and pedagogical learning environments where we take responsibility for creating participation opportunities for all children.

Who are we?

Milky Way Children's House is a relatively new day care in Ringsted Municipality. We are a house with good physical frameworks and lots of opportunities to develop our shared pedagogical foundation, culture and working community.

We want to create a day care where high professional standards, presence and engagement go hand in hand. A place where we are curious about our own practice, dare to ask questions and together take responsibility for developing the quality of the pedagogical work.

We work purposefully with

• Play as a fundamental element in children’s well-being, development and learning.
• Strong child communities and participation opportunities for all children.
• Safe and meaningful relationships between children and adults.
• Inclusive learning environments with attention to children's different needs and prerequisites.
• A common pedagogical direction and a common professional language.
• An engaging work community where we collaborate, reflect and develop together.

We believe that good pedagogy is created in partnership, and that we succeed best when we take joint responsibility for both the children and each other.

We are seeking a colleague for the kindergarten

Are you focused on children's play, relationships and opportunities to become an important part of the community?

In the kindergarten we want to create a daily life where play has a central place, and where children have the opportunity to explore, experiment, immerse themselves and develop friendships.

We are looking for you who can actively participate in the children's play while also creating the frames that support the children's curiosity, independence and development.

We want a colleague who

• Is focused on the importance of play for children's well-being, development and learning.
