Kolbrún Ólína Diego:

“The course was instructive and so much of what we learned was enjoyable. The accident prevention course is great, for example, I learned so much there. It’s also interesting to study all sorts of trends in pedagogy and we also visited other kindergartens. You learn so much from seeing how others do things. I decided to continue and study to become a preschool assistant.”

Anna Radyszkiewicz:

“I enjoyed the studies a lot and learned many things. I got to know wonderful people who work the same job as me and the teachers were excellent. It was especially interesting learning about bilingual children and how we in the kindergarten can empower them and help them finding their feet in the kindergarten. I am starting work again tomorrow after the summer vacation and look forward to utilising what I learned at work.”
