Nursery School Pre-school Programs

Within most major cities of the Netherlands there is a large number childcare/educational facilities created by the Expat community themselves. For more details about these locations please visit the access website Access or email adv-dh@access-nl.org

Tip to prevent any confusion - the term Kinderopvang denotes all forms of child care in the Netherlands, whereas Kinderdagverblijf is specifically for day care.

 

All forms of child care including after school (naschoolse opvang)

The Stichting Kinderopvang Nederland (SKON) has a national network for kinderopvang, naschoolse opvang and buitenschoolse opvang www.skon.nl  or email: info@skon.nl Tel.: +31 (0)347 359500
