About Us

Källans Preschool is a smaller preschool run by parents and staff in an economic association with a Christian profile. We are located in Malmslätt outside Linköping. Here we have a lovely outdoor area with varied environments, we have proximity to forest and culture and make weekly trips to these different settings. We have 28 children in the operation, which creates a family-like environment.

Our guiding principles are that every child should be given time, space, and peace to have the conditions to develop their skills and trust in their own abilities. Everyone is welcome here regardless of background or belief.

Our operation is based on the preschool curriculum, Linköping Municipality's guidelines, and is additionally permeated by Christian values such as care, respect, and community.

We are 7 educators working here; preschool teachers, childcare workers, a cook, and a principal. We place great importance on working in teams, everyone is needed and everyone is important, for our operation to continue developing and for every child to get the most out of their time here at the preschool.

Since all professional groups interact on a daily basis, work processes move a bit faster, from idea to action, and you can influence the work in the operation in a relatively quick way.

We have a shared vision across the entire preschool and work towards jointly set goals, where we focus on language development and sustainable development. At Källans Preschool, we are proudly certified with the "Green Flag".
