About us

Bryghuset and Hobbitten is an integrated day-care offering where we work closely across the two houses to create A Shared We – for the benefit of children, parents, and staff.

In Bryghuset-Hobbitten we are in the process of building the houses with an ambition to create strong relationships, good daily rhythms, and physical learning environments that support children's play, development and well-being.

We have a special focus on further developing our physical learning environments and strengthening relationship work between children and adults. We work, among other things, with Marte Meo as an pedagogical approach, and we see it as an important task to create good moments of meeting between children and adults throughout the day.

We want to be a day-care offering where we are curious about our practice, share our professionalism and together find the best solutions for the children. Here, leadership plays a central role in creating direction, supporting staff, and ensuring coherence across the houses.
