Barnehage (Norwegian for "children's garden") surrounds children with the language and culture of Norway through music, dance, creative play, crafts, games, stories and food. All activities take place in a safe, supportive, fun environment - all in Norwegian!
Barnehage is a unique foundational experience for life-long learners of Norwegian. The program is a natural precursor to Skogfjorden, the Norwegian Language Village, a Norwegian language and culture immersion summer camp for young people ages 7 to 18.
Norge Rundt (Now ages 4-11!)
Norge Rundt is an extension of Barnehage, and is now offered for children ages 4-11. This is a wonderful opportunity for young children who can't attend Barnehage during the school week, or Skogfjorden villagers who want to continue what they've begun during the summer. This class meets once a month (10:00-noon). Families can register for individual Saturdays or for a whole term. Dette blir morsomt!
Curriculum
Our pre-K curriculum is based on a series of fun themes that ensure each class builds on the previous one, continually challenging the learner. We emphasize both language and culture as important to children's broadening world view, and the themes are specifically designed with this in mind.
