Child care

When you have an address in Denmark and are registered in the Danish national register, you have the possibility to receive publicly subsidized child care for your children. This rule applies to the care of children from the age of 0-6 years old. Payments due from parents are charged once per month. A sibling discount is available, that is to say, you pay full price for your first child and half price for your other children.
