This kindergarten is in a villa in Risskov, Aarhus, close to the beach, the park at Risskov school and the Letbanen light rail. It was founded 80 years ago by Frk. Ellen Gade to look after the children of the neighbourhood and is now part of the self-governing organisation Børnebåndet. Two days a week the groups are mixed-age, and two days they are divided by age. Every Friday has a music focus with dedicated music teachers.
The day starts at 6.30 with breakfast and includes a morning gathering, outdoor play and walks. Lunch is organic food prepared by the staff themselves. Parents choose between a part-time place of 30 hours or a full-time place of 52 hours a week, and interested parents can get a guided tour by arrangement with the pedagogical leader.
