Our vision on integrated childcare centers (IKC)

We continue to invest heavily in sustainable, rich developmental environments for children. In wonderful places where you feel welcome and at home, where you can be yourself, where you feel comfortable, where there's room for both relaxation and enjoyment. Where you're well cared for.

 

Kober continues to invest heavily in integrated child centers (IKC)

We're doing this in an increasing number of settings, for example, at integrated childcare centers (IKC). As a recognizable, strong, and reliable partner. Together with educational organizations and other partners within multidisciplinary collaborations, such as municipalities, youth care services, libraries, child health clinics, social services, and healthcare partners. In close and ongoing collaboration. For children aged 0-12. In settings that appeal to both children and parents.

 

Formal and informal learning come together like a melting pot

In an IKC, formal and informal learning converge like a melting pot. A new culture develops. This requires understanding, time, and adaptability from those involved. Knowledge and expertise are brought together from various organizations, focused on broad development opportunities for children. Care for children is always close at hand. We offer an environment where children have access to appropriate and contemporary programs every day. Where children and their parents are seen, known, and supported. A distinctive place where encounters take place and that strengthens the cohesion of the neighborhood or village. Where children learn to live together.

 

Creating something new together

An IKC is a place where education and childcare, teachers, and childcare professionals work together as a single team, based on a shared vision and mission. They receive consistent management. The organizational structure is tailored to the needs of that setting, for children and parents. As a partner, we passionately contribute our expertise in early childhood development, pedagogy, and operational management. We ensure mutual connection and safeguard pedagogical quality.

 

Childcare as part of a basic system for children

Existing laws and regulations still limit the extent of integrated collaboration. We are committed to changing this, including through our industry association, BMK. We believe that childcare, along with education, should be part of a fundamental system for children.

 

Social childcare: A good start for every future

As a social childcare organization, we offer a good start to every child, regardless of their background and where they grow up. Because every child has talent, every child has a future, but not everyone gets the same opportunities for a bright future. At Kober, we believe all children deserve equal opportunities. Some children need a little more support than others. Childcare plays a vital role in this.

We reinvest what we earn back into our organization and our employees. We invest it in high-quality childcare and the quality of our services. Ultimately, it's the children who benefit.
