ABOUT JACOB'S KINDERGARTEN
JACOB'S KINDERGARTEN
Jacob’s Kindergarten was founded in 1996 and is privately run by an association. Our goal is to offer attractive and high quality daycare. The children learn English through early language immersion techniques – no previus knowledge of English is therefore needed. We offer daycare in a safe and stimulating environment by a competent and professional staff. Jacob’s Kindergarten is operated by a non-profit parent-run association. The board, which gets elected every year at the Annual Meeting, consists of parents who have or have had their children at Kindergarten. This means that every parent has an excellent opportunity to take part in and influence the running of the Kindergarten.

Jacob's Kindergarten was founded in 1996 and is privately run by a non-profit parents-run association. The board, which gets elected in March at the annual meeting consists of parents who have or have had their children at Jacob's Kindergarten.
Our goal is to offer attractive and high-quality day care. At Jacob's Kindergarten everyone is treated with respect, love and care. The children are always in the centre and we strive to make sure that the basic needs of each child are fulfilled. We guide and support the children according to their own special needs, in order to optimise the development of each and every individual.
We apply early anguage immersion techniques, where the staff uses mainly English, and the child’s mother tounge is understood. We use expressions, gestures and visual aids in addition to speaking. Children do not need to know English in order to start at Jacob’s Kindergaten. The children learn English through activities like games, stories, songs and poems.
