How to register your child for after-school care (SFO)
All children from grades 0 to 3 (ages 6 to 9) are guaranteed after-school care (SFO). You enrol your child in an SFO online using the self-service solution Digital Placement (Digital Pladsanvisning). For children in the 4th grade, it's possible to attend SFO in the morning.
If your child can start directly in grade 0 of a regular class in a municipal public school without first attending a reception class (for children with no or little knowledge of Danish), you can enrol your child in an SFO when you enrol them in school via Digital School Enrolment (Digital Skoleindskrivning). Your child will then be enrolled in the SFO as of August 1st of the year in which the child starts school.
- If your child is attending childcare in the municipality of Aarhus, we will automatically withdraw the child from the childcare facility with effect from July 31 of the year in which the child starts school.
- If you need to enrol your child in an SFO after the Digital School Enrolment (Digital Skoleindskrivning) has closed or after the start of school in grade 0, please use the self-service solution Digital Placement (Digital Pladsanvisning) hereunder instead.
When using Digital Placement you must know your guarantee of school district. Type your address to find your school district.
There is no after-school care at Søndervangskolen, which is a whole-day school. Here the school times are 8.00-16.00.
However, children in grades 0 to 3 can be enrolled for childcare in the before-school and after-school periods 6.30-8.00 and 16.00-17.00.
All children in special schools or special classes and children with disabilities have the opportunity to use after-school care up to and including grade 7.
If you wish for your child to attend a public school, and he or she has minimal or no knowledge of Danish, your child must attend a reception class until they are ready to attend a regular class in a municipal public school.
As the parent of a child in a reception class, you can choose to enrol your child using Digital Placement either in the after-school care (SFO) linked with the school where your child attends the reception class or in the child’s district school. The district school is located close to where you live.

Please note that if your child does not yet have a CPR number, you should contact the Placement Service (Pladsanvisning) in the City of Aarhus to enrol your child in an SFO.
If your child goes to a private school and you want to enrol them in after-school care you should contact your child’s school.
