Steiner Kindergarten in Ila is located in Trondheim and is housed in a restored log house from 1984. The kindergarten has two departments that are adapted to different age groups, which allows for adapted learning and development. The outdoor area includes a separate outdoor playground with a garden, cabins, sand, bushes and trees, which gives children the opportunity to play and explore nature.
The kindergarten emphasizes hiking activities in the local area, where children can experience different natural environments such as water, harbor, forest and streambeds. The pedagogy is based on anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner's philosophy, with a focus on the child as a rhythmic, imitative and sensitive being. There is also great emphasis on free play, where children are given the opportunity to create their own play without adult guidance, which promotes independence and creativity.
