KinderRijk introduces Child Care Plus: child care with extra support

Child Care Plus is a new addition to KinderRijk’s range of offerings. This new form of child care is intended for children aged 2 to 4 who need a little extra support to thrive. The group has now started at the Maalderij daycare in Amstelveen-Zuid.

Personal attention and room for development at their own pace
The plus group comprises up to 10 children, who are supervised by 2 senior educational staff members. This allows for each child to receive even more personal attention and room to develop at their own pace. Additionally, we have solid relationships with outside professionals who can assist. We use a daily programme to organise the day.

The goal is to help the children grow and, with this extra push, to enable them to confidently make the transition to (regular) primary school.

“Child Care Plus enables us to respond to a growing need,” says Soufyan el Hamdi (Board Member KinderRijk). “More and more children need just a little extra support to further their development. In this group, they receive care from specialised educational staff, along with the peace and structure that go with it. Together with parents and specialist partners, we ensure that all children get the chance to grow with confidence. It is our ambition to meet this need. We are proud to start this within KinderRijk and to further expand it.”

Going the extra mile in social child care
Offering Child Care Plus fits in with our social ethos. As a foundation, we invest our returns in the development of children and employees. And we are committed to each and every child. ‘A promising future for everyone‘ is therefore a well-suited theme for the year.

With Child Care Plus, we are building on previous initiatives, such as Early Childhood Education Plus for toddlers. This is how we provide extra support in various locations to the children who need it. Always with the same goal: to help every child grow into the best version of themselves.
