Educational framework in Kindergarten

All kindergartens operate based on a common set of values designed to ensure that children’s needs for care, play, learning, and personal development are met. The foundation for quality and content in kindergartens is established in the Rammeplan for barnehagen, a framework plan which all kindergartens must follow.

Based on the framework plan, each kindergarten creates its own annual plan, meaning there will be variations in offerings between different kindergartens.

Regardless of which kindergarten your child attends, you can expect that:

• the kindergarten operates according to values such as respect for human dignity and nature, freedom of thought, compassion, forgiveness, equality, and solidarity
• the kindergarten works to reduce social disparities
• the kindergarten provides an educational program
• your child has opportunities to play, explore, and experience meaningful activities
• your child’s individual needs are considered
• your child becomes part of a social and cultural community
• your child's interests and skills are recognized.
