The education and well-being of children are the most important investments in Seltjarnarnes. Our schools should be among the best, with outstanding staff and exemplary facilities that support every child’s development and safety. A healthy learning environment requires that maintenance be prioritized and that a clear plan be implemented to address mold and neglect. We place strong emphasis on early intervention and accessible support services so that children and families receive assistance quickly when needed. We will bridge the gap between parental leave and preschool and ensure moderate fees to ease the burden on families.
