Who we are
Futuraskolan International preschool Gåshaga is a bilingual preschool with children and staff from all over the world. We have an international perspective preparing the children to be citizens of the world and our pedagogical activities are performed in Swedish and English.
English is our common language, but we are able to support the children in other languages.
The preschool is located close to our school at Gåshaga. We follow the city’s rules for opening times, opening hours are adapted to the needs of the current child group within the time frame from 06:30 to 18:30.
Our Location
The preschool is located in spacious and friendly premises in a quiet residential area in Gåshaga. We have a large playground in proximity to forests and natural areas. The preschool is easily reached by Lidingöbanan or by bus.
What we offer and how we work
Our learning environment encourages joyful learning and free play in interaction with each other which inspires children to make active and independent choices. We work a lot on how to communicate. Managing their language in relation to other children and adults creates joy and confidence about their own self, which in turn gives a good sense of self-esteem. We also work actively to raise interest in the English language.
Our goal is to give the children an understanding of the environment and sustainable development as well as instill in them healthy habits.
Our outdoor environment allows for many different activities where the children naturally train their rough motor skills. It also offers exciting experiences through different games and provides a meaningful outing for children’s learning and development.
The proximity to the forest is a great asset we visit during all seasons. Here the children, big and small, are given the opportunity to explore and learn about life in the forest and how we take care of it through play and joy.
We follow the Swedish Curriculum Lpfö18 and also work with the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC). IEYC is a comprehensive, thematic, creative curriculum with a clear process of learning and with specific learning goals for every subject, for international mindedness, and for personal learning.
We work thematically to stimulate learning in the areas of Social skills, Language, Mathematics , Motorics, Arts, and Natural sciences. We utilize many forms of pedagogical documentation, but something that follows our children through the years is their personal portfolios. All classrooms have their own IPAD and IKT is part of our daily program.
