Child Care on Top of the World
Dombro, Amy Laura
Young Children, v59 n1 p86-90 Jan 2004
In this article, the author shares her experiences on her visit to Kullungen barnehage in Longyearbyen, Norway and discusses how Kullungen strives to create quality learning experiences for children. Much of the children's play and work at Kullungen reflects the climate, wildlife, and way of being on the top of the world. Like quality programs everywhere, Kullungen is grounded in children's everyday routines and experiences. Nevertheless, Kullungen aims to create an environment that leads to learning and social competence. ["Child Care on Top of the World" was written with Pernille Weis-Fogh.]
