WE TAKE THE CHILDREN SERIOUSLY

In the Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality we guarantee a place in a day care institution. In other words - you will be guaranteed childcare when at work.

Our aim is for children to thrive, develop, and become as competent as possible. Together with their parents we want to create whole correlations in the upbringing and development of the children from the ages of 0 to 18. We therefore have a joint point of departure when it comes to children and education, so there will be a common thread in the life the children experience in the day care, day nurseries, and schools of the municipality. We give high priority to the development of stimulating and supportive learning environments, and we endeavour to make all children feel seen, heard, understood, and taken seriously.

 

We are seen, heard, understood, and taken seriously.
