“The daily encounter, when children are delivered and collected, is important to us.”

Here at the Fenix preschool in Kista, we put an extra focus on movement, language and mathematics.

Together, we discover and interpret words and languages we hear around us, and reflect on how they can help us to understand each other and the world around us. We work with Swedish and many other languages.
There is a library at the Fenix preschool, from which families can borrow books and take them home to promote reading and talking about books. We also have access to the digital library Polyglutt, which can be used both independently and together with a member of teaching staff. Polyglutt is a service that all of our families can access at home, with hundreds of books in many different languages.
We gather in our reading environments indoors, out in our schoolyard and in our language walks, when we play with words, letters and terms. We boost the language with the aid of supporting characters and pictorial aids. The preschool has an excellent partnership with the library and makes use of their extensive cultural offering. Children can take part in exciting storytelling sessions and discussions about books every day.
We know that children are healthy, happier and concentrate better if they have plenty of movement, and that an active lifestyle even at an early age is important. This is why we have various movement-based activities every day together with the children. We offer time outdoors, dancing, obstacle courses, movement-based games, language walks and much more besides.
We start every week at the Fenix preschool with a “Bounce into Monday” session, in which we do some morning gymnastics with the children and their families and enjoy a tasty smoothie together.
Mathematics
At Fenix preschool, we aim to introduce children to mathematical concepts such as numbers, patterns, shapes and problem solving in a playful and natural way. Through activities such as counting, sorting, building and measuring, the children have the opportunity to develop their logical thinking and their ability to solve problems. Working with mathematics early on gives children a strong foundation for future learning and helps them understand the world around them. It also helps to create a positive attitude towards the subject, which can be decisive for their continued schooling.
At Fenix, we work actively in collaboration with our families on language development. Together, we discover and interpret words and languages we hear around us, and reflect on how they can help us to understand each other and the world around us.
The focus is on the family here, and we have a library from which families can borrow books and take them home to promote reading and talking about books. We also have access to a digital library with books in several different languages. This is a very popular service, both with the families themselves and together with our teaching staff. There are reading environments not only within the preschool, but also out in our schoolyard and during our language walks.
The Fenix preschool follows the City of Stockholm’s rules on opening hours, and guardians are entitled to care for their children on all weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 06:30–18:30, if needed. Children in our preschool are insured in an accident insurance through Stockholm City.
