Children and Education

 

Kerteminde is a great place to raise a family and therefore an increasing number of people is settling down in the municipality. Read on and get a good overview of Kerteminde's daycare system and children’s education.

 

Daycare Centres
Kerteminde offers a daycare-guarantee allowing all children aged 6 months to 6 years the comfort of being looked after. Parents who choose private daycare services for their children receive a monetary return on their payment until the children are 2 years old. 

 

Primary Schools
When children are close to normal school age (6 years), a notice is sent to their parents. It is important for Kerteminde to provide children with a school system supporting their journey towards a bright future. Therefore, the public school system has set a goal to ensure that “the best is obtained and that the impossible is made possible.” That is why, the municiplity's public schools emphasise quality factors such as the well-being, self-esteem, and self confidence of each and every pupil.

 

SFOs (the After School Clubs) and Youth Centres
Kerteminde extends a guaranteed membership to every child wishing to join an After School Club. There are 8 schools in Kerteminde providing After School Club service. The service is paid for by the parents and clubs are open to all junior citizens. When at the After School Clubs children are. supervised by professional adults.

 

Kerteminde also has a Music School (Kerteminde Musikskole) and a Youth Centre (Ungdomsskolen) where children aged 10 and up are granted admission.

 

All of these after school services have numerous benefits for the children and certainly help develop their social, personal, musical, independent and linguistic skills.

 

Secondary Schools
Young people wishing to continue with their secondary education attend secondary schools (gymnasium) in Nyborg or Odense (which is Funen’s only University City).
