Relocare prioritizes the well-being of your entire family when moving to Denmark, especially your children. They assist with finding the right daycare, au pair, or school that aligns with your values and preferences. Relocare ensures timely registration on waiting lists and offers support throughout the process to help families feel secure and confident. Many expat families choose to stay in Denmark long-term because of the high-quality education system, which is also credited for producing strong global leaders.
When an international employee relocates to Denmark, the entire family relocates too.
Choosing the right school or childcare solution is about much more than education. It influences how quickly children settle in, how well the family adapts to life in Denmark and, ultimately, whether the employee chooses to stay.
At Relocare, we believe that choosing the right educational path is one of the most important decisions in the entire relocation process.
There is no single solution that suits every family.
For families planning a shorter stay in Denmark, an international school is often the natural choice.
For families expecting to stay for a longer period, we frequently encourage them to explore the opportunities offered by the Danish public school system.
This recommendation is based on much more than academic quality. Free education, rapid language acquisition and strong local communities provide many children with the best possible foundation for building a successful life in Denmark. At the same time, it often creates a more sustainable financial situation for the family.
Our advice is therefore always based on the family’s long-term plans—not simply on the first few months after arrival.
Many international families are surprised by the level of support available to children entering the Danish school system.
Depending on the child’s age, language skills and previous educational background, different forms of support are available to help children transition successfully into their new school environment. The objective is not simply to teach Danish—it is to help children become confident members of both their school community and Danish society.
Time and again, we see children learn the language much faster than their parents expect, while at the same time developing friendships and a genuine sense of belonging.
Choosing a school is about much more than finding an available place.
It is about identifying the environment where each child has the best opportunity to thrive—academically, socially and linguistically.
Relocare has many years of experience working closely with municipalities and educational institutions throughout Denmark. We guide families through the dialogue with local authorities and schools, helping ensure that each child’s individual needs are understood and considered from the very beginning.
The right start creates confidence—not only for the child, but also for the parents and the employer.
We provide guidance on every stage of the family’s educational journey, including childcare, nurseries, kindergartens, Danish and international schools, waiting lists, admissions, language and cultural integration, after-school programmes and the family’s long-term plans in Denmark.
Our recommendations are always tailored to the family’s overall situation—not simply the child’s age.
We often find that the choice of school becomes one of the deciding factors in whether a family chooses to build their future in Denmark.
When children thrive, families settle more quickly.
When families settle successfully, employees are free to focus on their work and long-term career.
That is why we see educational guidance as an important part of every company’s strategy for attracting, integrating and retaining international talent.
We do not recommend the same solution for every family.
We recommend the solution that gives each family the best opportunity to thrive—both today and in the years to come.
Relocare provides practical and personal guidance to international employees and helps employers create a safe and efficient start in Denmark.
