Partners

KinderRijk collaborates with various parties in many areas. This enables us to continuously meet the needs of parents and (continue to) offer quality standards. First of all, we concluded covenants with a number of educational organisations to allow children aged 0 to 13 to develop in the most effective and favourable way. In addition, we collaborate with local parties in the fields of music, dance, culture, sports and play games in order to provide the most attractive and varied range of activities. Good forms of collaboration are moreover being maintained with municipalities, care institutions and organisations with a specific focus on the sector.

Education

KinderRijk concluded a covenant with its education partners Amstelwijs and Onderwijsgroep Amstelland. We undertake to be committed to a common vision, where we work together as equal partners.

We are also involved in Educational Studies at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the Educational Work training course at the ROC. Within these partnerships, we share views and ideas on the content of the courses. In this way, we are working together on improving the link-up between the practical professional field and the study programme, and contribute to the preparation of our future employees.

City of Amstelveen

The partnership with the City of Amstelveen is also essential to us. We work closely together to continuously maintain and improve high-quality childcare.

Culture and sports

KinderRijk is always actively trying to find locations where children have room to play, explore and go outside. Various clubs and sports associations at Amstelveen share their facilities with us, which allows us to offer fun activities for children of all ages at the after-school care locations.

AmstelveenSport is one of the organisations that supports us and provides us with knowledge, contacts and sports facilities. Since 2023, KinderRijk has been in a partnership with AmstelveenSport. Together, we apply the Athletics Skills Model: a scientifically and practice-based model with ten basic forms of movement. These basic forms are the building blocks for the most effective motor development.

Child Care Sector

Besides several local partnerships and education, we are associated with a mixed number of sector organisations and activities. This benefits us through sharing experience, conducting the social debate on childcare and the pursuit of quality in childcare.
