International day care centre

Developing international children’s language skills

Background

The City of Knowledge has identified a need for international day care centres in Lyngby in order to attract and retain international talent.

So far two public daycare centres in Lyngby-Taarbæk have established English language groups at their daycare facilities. The groups can each accommodate 10 children between the ages of 3-6 and the focus is to develop the children’s English language through play and learning.

The English language groups are for children with English as their native language as well as children, who will benefit from learning English as a second language. All children accepted into the groups are expected to continue their education in English either in Denmark or abroad.

The project is developed in the City of Knowledge Network for Internationalisation.

Please note that citizens from all municipalities in Denmark are eligible to apply.
