Hi guys, so I was assigned to do a presentation in class about Norway’s preschool schedule. Can you guys provide a table schedule because I can’t find any on Google. Thank you so much 🙏

  2. Preschool schedule? Like for young kids not at school. (School starts the year you are 6 years old) – so this is the schedule for kids 2-5:

    Get dropped off at pre-school (barnehage) at around 07:30 – 09:00 (depending on when parents go to work).

    Play and have fun.

    Eat some food.

    Play and have fun.

    Get picked up by parents at around 15:00 – 17:00 (depending on when parents get home from work).

  3. Because pre-school is not really a thing here, every kid either goes to kindergarten or stays at home until they go to school the year they turn 6.

    For those that goes to kindergarten, there is a thing called “preschool club” were the kids going to school the next year have a few hours each week or month (depending on the setup in the kindergarten) were they do school stuff. Like writing the alphabet and numbers, and practicing writing their names.

    The last few months before summer break the kids in the preschool club have a few visits at the scool they will go to, and kids that don’t go to kindergarten are also invited those days.

    But kindergarten is open from 7am or 730am until 16pm or 17pm, depending on opening hours which differs greatly between some kindergartens.
    And the kindergartens my kids went to had preschool club every other tuesday for an hour or two

  4. Not quite sure you’re going to find the sort of answer you are looking for, kindergarten here is kind of different from preschool in America or wherever you live.

  6. Preschool here is the last year of daycare (called Barnehage – kindergarten), and every child starts school the year they turn 6, so some are still 5 when the school year begins in August.

    My son is currently in preschool (called førskole) and they have designated classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They learn letters and numbers, and practice writing skills, but it’s very low pressure and kids are not expected to read or write before starting 1st grade.

    Other than those couple of hours a week, they do regular kindergarten stuff. Arts and crafts, play outside (in any weather, they’re outside at least half the day), go on hikes and other outdoor adventures, go to a science center or theatre, move their bodies and generally act like children. We do not have grades in Norwegian schools until 8th grade (youth school, 8-10 grade), so there’s no such pressure on the kids to perform.
