From 1 September 2022, Margreet Hellemons will be the new chairman of KinderRijk’s Board of Directors. Margreet will be succeeding Anja Hol, who has held the position since September 2019 and successfully implemented KinderRijk’s development and direction.

Margreet has worked in various management positions in the childcare sector since 1997. For the past seven years, she has been the managing director of GO! Kinderopvang in Flevoland. During this period, she was engaged in the development of IKCs (integrated child centres) in collaboration with the education sector. She is moreover involved in projects on talent development in science and technology in the regions of Amsterdam, Gooi and Flevoland and the VVE pilots (early-childhood education) in Almere.

The Supervisory Board is enthusiastic about Margreet’s arrival. Jacob Boskma, chairman of the Supervisory Board, said: “In Margreet, we believe to have found an excellent director who will use her energy, knowledge and decisiveness to further expand the course set by KinderRijk. We wish Margreet every success in her new role as chairman of the Board of Directors and look forward to working together.”
