Through a project-based working method, we allow children to test their thoughts and questions through exploratory play and in artistic expressions. We systematically work with reflection and documentation as tools to follow and challenge the children's curiosity, interests, and questions. The work is based on a value-driven practice with a culture of reflection, participation, and collegial learning. **About Regnbågens Preschool** Regnbågens Preschool is located in Bankeryd and is operated by the Bankeryd Mission Congregation. The preschool is situated in a nature-friendly location with forests and waterways just around the corner, while also being close to our local community. The activities are conducted in the mission church's premises, which gives us access to facilities such as a gymnasium and a banquet hall. The preschool consists of three departments with age divisions of 1–2.5 years, 2.5–4 years, and 4–5 years. Regnbågen has a stable staff group and its own pool of substitutes. Our chef, who is also a baker, prepares all meals from scratch, and the kitchen is in close proximity to the departments. The food is highly appreciated by both children and staff. We aim to create a creative preschool education based on our core values: Curiosity, Wonder, and Faith & Hope. The preschool operates from a Christian value foundation, and our activities are inspired by the municipal preschools in Reggio Emilia and their philosophical and pedagogical approaches. At Regnbågens Preschool, we believe it is important to have fun together, and we value each other's differences, both children and adults, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to develop as individuals and in their professional roles.
