The summer setup of preschools and school-age educare
During four weeks in the middle of the summer; from July 10th to August 4th, Skellefteå’s preschools and school-age educare are organized differently.
If you plan to have your child there during these weeks, you need to submit a specific application for the summer no later than June 7th.
The reason is that most Swedes have vacation during summer, often for 4-5 consecutive weeks. Therefore, very few children attend preschool and school-age educare (”fritids” in Swedish) this time of the year. As a result, the majority of all units are temporarily closed. If you need a place for your child during the period July 10th to August 4th, there are designated units open.
This also regards those who usually have their child at any of our childcare centres at atypical hours (preschool and school-age educare with special opening hours).
Application
If you want to apply, you are welcome to call our customer service at 0910-73 50 00 or send an email with your request to kundtjanst@skelleftea.se.
If you plan to work or study during the period July 10th to August 4th and are in need of childcare, you are welcome to apply. Please note that this applies only if both guardians are occupied. If one of you is off from work or studies, your child will stay at home with you during this time.

To be able to plan for our pedagogical staff’s summer vacation, we need the applications ahead of time. If your application is submitted after June 7th, we cannot guarantee a place in your nearby area.
You will receive an email on June 17th with information about which preschool or school-age educare your child can go to during the summer vacation period.
Södergårds OB-förskola is the centre for childcare at atypical hours that will stay open during the summer.
If your child doesn’t already attend childcare at atypical hours, you will need to apply. You are welcome to reach out to our customer service to get more guidance in how to do this, at 0910-73 50 00 or email kundtjanst@skelleftea.se
