A notable percentage of parents or guardians of kindergarten children in Reykjavík, specifically 15%, have altered their children's attendance hours due to the implementation of the Reykjavík Plan. This plan introduces new regulations concerning the flexible scheduling of kindergarten hours, allowing parents to make changes with shorter notice than previously required. This adjustment appears to be positively received, as many parents have already reacted to these changes with enthusiasm.

The office manager of the kindergarten department in Reykjavík has expressed satisfaction over the number of parents opting to shorten their children's hours on Fridays. In a recent announcement directed at parents, it was conveyed that there has been a temporary rule change allowing alterations to children's schedules with less than a month's notice, a significant shift from the former requirements. Parents must finalize any necessary changes for their children's attendance by March 15 to ensure the new fee structure takes effect in April.

The Reykjavík Plan is set to take formal effect on April 1, bringing with it new regulations that impact the scheduling of kindergarten hours for parents. These changes offer increased flexibility for families, reflecting a response to community needs. The feedback from parents indicates a strong desire for more adaptable scheduling options that align better with their own schedules, which could lead to a broader reassessment of kindergarten hour regulations in Reykjavík in the future.
