Why do you rank preschools by staffing density?

Skolverket publishes no grades for preschool because children aren't assessed. Children-per-FTE is the most universal and reliably measured structural quality indicator — it directly affects how much staff time each child receives and correlates, per Skolverket's own research, with pedagogical quality. Preschool-teacher certification and higher-education share are shown as context columns in the table.

How we ranked

The list includes preschools in Sala that have published children per FTE — the number of children divided by the number of full-time-equivalent staff in the preschool. The list is sorted ascending (lowest first) because fewer children per staff member means more time per child. Preschool-teacher certification (share of staff with a teaching licence) and higher-education share are shown as context columns.

Note: Skolverket publishes no grades or quality ratings for preschool because children aren't assessed. Staffing density is a structural input indicator, not an outcome measure — it shapes children's everyday experience but doesn't tell the full story about pedagogical quality, leadership, environment or pedagogical profile. Use the context columns and visit the preschool yourself. Read the full methodology →
