• This cultural and linguistic diversity is a
  challenge for the local community authorities,
  both from an organizational and from an
  educational perspective, and calls for developing
  a language policy for the community. Special
  language programs has been developed, practised
  and evaluated during the years. The program is
  based on the curriculum for ordinary pre-schools
  and schools but certain questions concerning
  second language acquisition are focused

14

• The primary goal of the multicultural program is
  for children and youth in Rinkeby-Kista is to be
  able to thrive in Swedish society as other
  children in other parts of the city. This goal is
  achieved through the development of academic
  knowledge, language development, social
  competence and personal maturity of the children.
  The same approach is used in pre-schools and
  schools, such that childrens development and
  learning is recognized and followed along a
  continuum from 1-16 years.

15
Focus on language.

• The work in the preschools encourages the
  preservation of childrens first language.
• Teachers inform parents of the importance of
  speaking their mother tounge with children at
  home and encourage oral and written language to
  be part of daily life.
• Since children who enter school are expected to
  speak Swedish, pre-school is viewed as an
  important setting for children to develop their
  competence in their new language.
• Partnership with parents is an important field to
  develop. Staffs aim to help parents feel
  comfortable and safe.
• Other important areas for the pre-schools are
  physical and cultural activities and, maybe most
  important education in social competence and
  democracy.
