Förskolan Okay ek. för. (Parent Cooperative Preschool Okay) Child Care Provider Municipality: Gothenburg Quick Facts About the Position Scope: Part-time, 75% Duration: Through January 27, with possibility of extension Employment Type: Temporary position (vikariat) Salary: Fixed monthly salary Number of Positions: 1 About the Position Förskolan Okay is a small, family-oriented, and well-functioning preschool with 18–19 children ages 1.5–6 years. We have just over four full-time child care positions plus a director, and we are now seeking an engaged and confident child care provider who wants to become part of our wonderful team. For us, the small group size and high staff-to-child ratio are important parts of our operations. This gives us excellent opportunities to see each child, build close relationships, and together create a safe, fun, and educational preschool environment. The preschool is located on Guldheden and has spacious, beautiful facilities and a wonderful outdoor yard that inspires varied play and learning. We continuously develop our outdoor environment based on the children's interests and needs. During spring, summer, and fall, when weather permits, we eat our meals outdoors on our lovely terrace. Children also nap outdoors in their own carriages, regardless of season or weather. Since 2009, we have been implementing pedagogy based on Friluftsfrämjandet's I Ur och Skur program, where nature is an integral part of our activities year-round. We view outdoor time as an important foundation for children's learning, health, and wellbeing. Outdoor recreation, outdoor pedagogy, and environmental awareness are therefore central to our daily work. Each week, the children go on forest excursions in different outdoor groups: Knopp, Knytte, and Mulle. Working With Us As a parent cooperative, we value close and respectful collaboration between educators and parents. Both staff and parents are engaged in the operations and together contribute to creating a safe and welcoming preschool for the children. As a child care provider at Okay, you will have the opportunity to be involved in the operations and influence them together with your colleagues. Since we are a smaller organization, we help each other and everyone contributes to the whole. We actively work with our learning environments, both indoors and outdoors, and want to give children the opportunity to develop through play, creativity, movement, nature experiences, and community. We offer you enjoyable, varied, and developmental work alongside an engaged team and involved parents. You will receive a wellness allowance (friskvårdsbidrag), work clothes for the position, and educational meals. What We're Looking For You have child care provider training or equivalent experience. You have experience working in a preschool. You are confident, responsible, and engaged in working with children. You have a genuine interest in children's development, play, and learning. You enjoy being active with children, both outdoors and indoors. You have a strong interest in nature, outdoor recreation, and outdoor pedagogy. You have good collaboration skills and appreciate close dialogue with parents. You are flexible and see opportunities in working in a smaller organization where everyone helps each other. You are positive, proactive, and contribute to a good work environment. Experience with I Ur och Skur, other outdoor pedagogy, or work in a parent cooperative is a plus, but not required. We place great importance on personal suitability, engagement, and your desire to be part of our operations. What We Offer A temporary position (75%) with possibility of extension. Start immediately. A small and family-oriented organization with high staff-to-child ratio. A nature-oriented and inspiring work environment. Engaged colleagues and involved parents. Opportunity to influence and develop the operations. Wellness allowance. Work clothes for the position. Educational meals. Welcome to Apply! Are you an engaged child care provider who enjoys working closely with children, thrives in a smaller organization, and enjoys spending your workday outdoors? Then we hope you will become part of our wonderful team at Förskolan Okay!
