Thrilled to share feedback from Ilonka, HR Manager at Fokker-Elmo, highlighting our support for the transition of their 23 families to the Dutch school system. This project underscores our ability to smoothly facilitate large group relocations. Thank you for trusting us with such an important task! 'YES! has been of great value to Fokker Elmo in getting a large group of Turkish employees acquainted with the Dutch school system and assisting our new colleagues in finding a suitable school for their children. They provided a tailor-made information session for the entire group and continued with individual sessions to find the best schooling solution for each child. This has been of great importance for our new colleagues, getting their kids settled in their new country' Ilonka - HR Manager, Fokker-Elmo --- 👨👩👧👦 Our mission: Guiding families smoothly towards the right school choice when relocating to the Netherlands.

The Netherlands has 18 million citizens. Our population is growing, which unfortunately means specific sectors have waiting lists. Waiting lists in the educational sector: For example, there are waiting lists for after-school care everywhere in the Netherlands, which can take up to one year. There are also waiting lists for Dutch international schools, especially in the secondary departments. There are waiting lists for full-time daycares, too, but not in every city. We're here to assist families with navigating waiting lists for preschools, daycares, schools, language schools, or funded international schools in your desired area. With our expertise, we can offer tailored advice and help explore alternative options. --- 👨👩👧👦 Our mission: Guiding families smoothly towards the right school choice when relocating to the Netherlands.

We had the honor to share our knowledge on developments & trends in education in NL for partners of IN Amsterdam last week. Thanks for having us!

In the Netherlands, the government largely funds primary education, so there are minimal direct costs for parents. Here are some typical costs associated with Dutch primary education: 1. School Materials: Parents might need to purchase school supplies, like books and stationery. Schools often list required materials at the start of the school year. 2. Contributions: Some schools may request voluntary contributions to cover additional costs for activities, special projects, or extracurricular programs. These contributions are generally optional but can significantly enhance the educational experience. 3. Lunch: Children bring their lunch. In-between-school care during lunch is provided. This involves supervision in the class and during outside play. The cost is around 200 euros per year. 4. After-School Care: Parents who need to arrange after-school care (BSO, or "Buitenschoolse Opvang”) can incur an additional cost. The cost varies depending on the provider and the number of hours required. Note: There are waiting lists for after-school care!! Overall, the Dutch education system is designed to minimize costs for basic education, ensuring accessibility for all children and providing support for parents. --- 👨👩👧👦 Our mission: Guiding families smoothly towards the right school choice when relocating to the Netherlands.

Supporting a child in a Dutch school as an international parent without speaking Dutch can be challenging, but there are several strategies that help: 1. Stay involved with school communication: - Ask for English communication, some teachers or staff might be willing to communicate in English. - Attend parent-teacher meetings: Parents can request a translator or bring someone who speaks Dutch and English to help with meaningful discussions about their child’s progress. - Is there a problem with their child? If there is a problem with their child, it's adviced to email the teacher and ask for a meeting after school. - Translation tools. Many schools communicate via email or digital platforms like Parro or Social Schools. Tools like Google Translate can be a great help in this situation. 2. Extra language support: Some schools offer special Dutch language classes (NT2) for non-Dutch speaking children. Inquire if the child qualifies for extra lessons. 3. Homework: Children hardly get homework in Dutch schools, but sometimes there is extra reading work or geography. Families often ask a student or teenager in the neighborhood to help. This way, they can earn money, and a native speaker helps the child. --- 👨👩👧👦 Our mission: Guiding families smoothly towards the right school choice when relocating to the Netherlands.
