Going to after-school care for the first time
Going to after-school care for the first time is quite a step. Especially because the big step to primary school is usually taken at the same time. Primary schools usually have an adjustment period in which the days are built up slowly. A school day demands more from a child than a day of childcare. That can be quite tiring in the beginning.
You also have to get used to after-school care. Our pedagogical staff and branch managers will discuss with you as a parent what the best approach is for you. After all, every child reacts differently to the transition to primary school.
At KleintjeZuid we take a child's unique adjustment process as it is and support a child and its parents. We have a lot of contact with you as a parent during the adjustment period. We send photos, updates and coordinate collection time appointments via the Parent App in the interests of your child.
We ensure that our branches have a homely atmosphere where children feel like they are coming home after a day of school and where parents also quickly feel comfortable.
An afternoon at KleintjeZuid
Phew, it was quite a busy day at school today. Lessons, tasks and work, you've done a lot. Just a little while and you will be free. You look out the window dreamily and… you see your familiar after-school teacher standing in the schoolyard. She carries a bag full of yellow KleintjeZuid vests. Then the bell rings. Free! You rush to say goodbye to the teacher, grab your bag and coat, and once you're through the door you run across the schoolyard to your teacher. The children from other classes also gather around her. The teacher checks whether everyone is there. “Yes, check, we can leave.” Two by two and hand in hand, you walk with your schoolmates to the after-school care.
KleintjeZuid pays extra attention to supporting parents in creating a good balance between work, household and family. Our provision of a daycare day, longer opening hours and offering daily hot meals for the children ensure that there is only quality time left as a family at home.
