Back in 1983, Hans Jacob Sundby, our owner, realized his desire to work with child development. He embraced the value of stable relationships for childrenโs development and decided to make a difference in the lives of as many children as possible.
In 1986, the future co-founder of Dibber, Randi Lauvland, had an eye-opening experience in which she witnessed how kids can grow and contribute simply by being shown that they have value.
In 2001, Hans and Randi used their interest in children's education and started selling pedagogical toys. They further expanded to decorating children's rooms in workout centers around Norway. They put their whole hearts in all the work they did.
First Step to Achieve Their Dream In 2003, they bought their first preschool. With their experience as parents and educational work, they focused on creating quality content for their preschool. The first preschool started with 50 students and 15 adults using holistic approach to early childhood education. Here, children could become the best version of themselves through playful learning, interaction and mastery. The Dibber way of putting compassion, empathy and collaboration into learning programs took form in this first preschool.
In 2009, Dibber operated 50 preschools in Norway. Over 225 adults took an active part in making a difference in the lives of over 1,020 new world citizens.
In 2013, the Dibber educational concept was organized into five subjects - The Heart Programme, Creativity, Language, Play with Mathematics and Nature.
