Seminar days for 2026
The development of our educational professionals is a key aspect in our organisation, and we believe it is crucial that they are given the time and resources to facilitate their learning and growth. For this reason, two KinderRijk seminar days are organised every year, providing employees with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills.
Seminar day Tuesday 14 April 2026
The first seminar day in 2026 will be on Tuesday 14 April. On this day, all KinderRijk locations and the Service Centre will be closed for the entire day.
Seminar afternoons in October and November 2026
In addition to the seminar day in April, KinderRijk organises seminar afternoons for regular training and refresher courses. These will be held on Thursdays in October and November next year. Your location will be closed on one of those afternoons. We will announce the exact dates in 2026..
The seminar day in April and the seminar afternoons in the autumn change every year to make sure that these days/afternoons do not affect the same parents every year.
