A Barnehage is a Norwegian Kindergarden that offers a full-day program for toddlers from the age of 1yr to 6 yrs. Barnehages are designed to support working parents and hence is built to be an extension of the children’s homes, safeguarding the child’s need for care and play. The pedagogy is rooted in learning through the joy of play and children are encouraged to develop a creative zest, sense of wonder & need to investigate - with a big focus on their interactions with the outdoors. The Papagoya Barnehage, located in Bangalore, India will offer an 8-hour-day program to toddlers from age 1yr, mirroring the working hours of the Indian parent, thereby allowing them - particularly women, to stay contributors to the workforce. The delivery of the pedagogy will be true to the Norwegian way and implemented locally by a team of experienced teachers. At the Barnehage, children starting from 1yr will learn to take care of themselves, each other & nature while gaining fundamental knowledge through social interaction, play and structured activities.
