School-based leisure-time facility (skolefritidsordning, SFO) - childcare before and after school
School-based leisure-time facilities provide wraparound care for all children in grades 0 to 3 in ordinary municipal primary and lower-secondary schools. In Danish, this school-based leisure time offer is called 'skolefritidsordning' or colloquially SFO.
The facilities focus on supporting your child’s personal, social, and cultural development. Children need to learn to make decisions to be able to say yes or no to things. In this way, they learn to take responsibility for themselves when they are together with other people.
