Språkskolan’s after-school care
We have two departments in our after-school care at Språkskolan. Fritidskammaren, where the students in preschool class and grade 1 are, and Fritidsklubben, where the students in grade 2-6 are.
Fritidskammarens department serves as the opening and closing department. This means that all students attending after-school care will be at Fritidskammaren before the school start (7:00-school start). After school the students go to the respective department. At 16:30 Fritidsklubben’s students go to Fritidskammaren, where they are until we close for the day.
Our opening hours are between 7:00 and 17:30. If you, as parents, have other needs due to your working hours you can apply for extended times between 6:30 and 18:30 through a special form.
During the summer we are closed for 4 weeks. During this period, we cooperate with the municipal’s summer open after-school care facilities. If you, as a parent, have other needs in addition to our regular opening hours, please contact our principal AnnBritt.
Application and Termination
To apply for an after-school activity spot, the student must be enrolled in preschool class or grades 1-6 at Språkskolan. Application and termination are done through Umeå municipality’s form for after-school placement.

Craft of the week
The students can create and express themselves through different aesthetic forms of expression, as well as practice their fine motor skills. Another purpose of craft of the week is to awaken the imagination and the joy of creation. Craft of the week is optional.
Outdoor activities
We are outside every day. We do this in order to allow the children to move around in different environments and to understand what can affect health and well-being. We also have planned activities outside, such as games and team-building exercises.
Fundamental values
Once a week we work with fundamental values. We talk about how to be a good friend, discuss ethics and morals, etc. We also work with stories, drama and music.
Snack
Snack time is meant to be a calm and quiet moment for the children to sit down and talk to each other. We are careful to follow the same routines at snack time to provide security.
Homework studies
Optional homework studies are offered one hour 1-2 times a week. During that time one of the school’s teachers is available.

After-school care in the summer
After-school care in the summer
Språkskolan is closed during summer vacations w.27-30. If there is a need for child care during this period, Språkskolan has the possibility to buy this service from Umeå municipality. The placement will be made in an assigned municipal school in Umeå. To be granted this the caretaker(s) need to provide a work schedule for these weeks with a certificate from the employer.
The main principle is that the child stays home if the caretaker(s) is home, which means that the caretaker(s) need to provide a work schedule as well as certificate to be granted a placement.
The last day to apply is May 3d and the application is submitted to the principal. The application is made through a form that can be downloaded under Filer & Länkar > Blanketter in Schoolsoft.
