Do you want to work at a small workplace where the cook/cleaner is an important part of the business and be an involved adult in the children's everyday life?

About the preschool I Ur och Skur Mullelyan

I Ur och Skur Mullelyan is a small preschool with 34 children and 9 adults, run as a staff cooperative. We have been located in Åkeshov, Bromma since 1989.

With us, learning, health, and sustainable development are closely connected. We work based on our dietary policy for a sustainable lifestyle and development, where food is an important part of the children's everyday life and learning.

The I Ur och Skur pedagogy permeates our activities. Nature is a natural learning environment, and children spend a large part of the day outdoors year-round. Teaching and activities take place alternately indoors and outdoors. During the warmer part of the year, children eat their meals outdoors. For us, food is part of care, community, and learning, and the cook therefore has an important role in the overall activity. We want to offer food that follows the seasons and makes creative and flavorful use of vegetables, cabbage, and root vegetables.

We see the meal as more than just food on the plate. It is also part of the children's learning, where we want to spark curiosity, joy of food, and the desire to try new flavors.
