When your child turns 3
If your child is enrolled in daycare in Aarhus Municipality, we will automatically reduce your rate on the first day of the month following your child’s 3-year-old birthday. This also applies even if your child starts kindergarten earlier. The rate for a childminder (dagpleje) is not changed.
When your child starts in school
As a starting point, your child is transferred from kindergarten to school-based leisure-time facilities (skolefritidsordning, SFO) on August 1st the year your child starts grade 0. However, there can be special rules for children who start at Frederiksbjerg Skole as it has a running school start.
When your child attends a club
In the club, the rate changes from leisure club to youth club on August 1st the year your child starts 7th grade. Please note that you must enrol your child in the youth club yourself, as it does not happen automatically.
