Memmm Play consists of professionals who are interested in the welfare of families in Iceland.
“Open preschools expand the world of parents and children and has a positive and encouraging effect on all those who are at home with small children. At the same time, it is an inclusive platform for families who are new to Iceland and also families in a vulnerable position. Interest and attendance will then control the number of further opening days and opening hours, but to begin with, one class will be offered per week and we hope that as many people as possible will attend, play and enjoy together. This is all about the welfare, friendship and the relationship between the parents and children.” says Fanney D. Halldórsdóttir, head of the Department of Education and Public Health in Hafnarfjörður.
