A good childhood can mean many things. The early years are important, and in Fredericia you’ll find the perfect setting to create exactly the kind of childhood you want.
Across the municipality, you’ll find childminders and childcare centres where happy children and wellbeing are top priorities.
Do you dream of more calm and time together with your children? Shape everyday life to suit your family. Fredericia is one of the municipalities where you can receive a subsidy for home childcare.
There are great opportunities for networking and community among home childcare providers. For example, the association HJEM hosts four weekly events as well as a wide range of events and activities throughout the year.
Happy children learn best. Schools should be great places to be and to learn—where children’s everyday life is filled with play, learning and community.
Schools focus on collaboration, academic standards, motivation and creative learning. In addition, individual schools have special focus areas such as sport, musicals or the Blue School, where much of the teaching takes place outdoors.

The city of Fredericia was born with ambition almost 375 years ago, and that still lives on in the city’s DNA today. Our vision towards 2033 sets the direction we’re working in. Among other things, we want to be the first choice for families with children.
Read Fredericia Municipality’s policy for children, young people and education. We’ve called it Everyday life, friendship and gusts of wind because we want to ensure that all children and young people have a good everyday life, build friendships and communities, and are strengthened to face both tailwinds and headwinds in life.
