The open preschool Memmm will operate twice a week this winter. Sessions will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 to 12 at Drekavellir 9.
The open preschool Memmm restarts after the summer break on Monday, August 25th. Sessions will be held on Mondays and Thursdays this winter from 10 to 12. The school has moved from Selhella in Hraunvallaleikskóli to Drekavellir 9. Memmm will not be inside the school building itself but at Leikvellir, a facility next to Hraunvallaleikskóli.
Memmm mornings are run by Memmm Play, a team of professionals dedicated to the welfare of families in Iceland. This open preschool expands the home environment for parents and children and has a positive and encouraging impact on everyone caring for young children.
But what is Memmm? It is an open preschool offering parents, guardians, and young children aged 0–6 a family-friendly space for play. Here, parents and children can enjoy quality time together in a beautiful environment. Parents meet other parents, and children interact with peers during crucial years for social development.
Families also have access to education on a variety of topics related to parenting and child development. The open preschool welcomes visitors anytime during opening hours, with a focus on play, creativity, flow, and connection to nature and science, both indoors and outdoors.
Yes, let the children play and let us meet other adults!
