Parent collaboration

For us, strong parental collaboration is important. We have a parent council where at least one parent from each group participates, focusing together on how we can improve the preschool collectively.

Examples of our parental collaboration:

TYRA app - our app through which the preschool publishes blogs, calendars, attendance records, educational documentation, and portfolios. TYRA also facilitates communication between educators and guardians regarding schedules, illnesses, or daily matters.

Daily communication during drop-off and pick-up. We believe that daily communication is very important. It can be small details that can determine a child's day or evening. It is also important for the child to see that parents and educators have a good relationship.

Parent-teacher conferences/developmental talks in November and April/May. Of course, we have talks as needed, initiated by both educators and parents. It's important that we respect the children and guardians and don't discuss sensitive matters in the entrance hall but invite them to a meeting.

Welcome letters and good information for new families.

Follow-up meetings after the settling-in period where we discuss how things have gone and where the parent gives us feedback on their experience.

Parent meeting in September. Parent council meeting in September/October.

The opportunity to create various interest groups regarding, for example, the development of the yard, collaboration around major activities, or cultural holidays.

Parent letters from the principal at least once per term.

User surveys. We inform our parents already at the parent meeting in September about the importance of helping us improve by responding to the user survey. This is done in conjunction with reviewing our goals and the year's user results.

Drop-in coffee.

"Bamseloppet" and "Uggleloppet," two popular running events for children.

Closing ceremony with performances, "graduation" (diplomas and hats), and a picnic.
