what are broad schools?

A broad school is a partnership tailored education between primary schools and various parties like child care, sports clubs, cultural institutions and welfare organizations. All this is in the same building, so your child does not have to go to different places during the day.

The goal of a broad school is to connect the different parts of your child’s day better and work more efficiently together.

what is an integral child center?

An integral child center goes one step further than the broad school by fully joining education, care and support in one organization. This means your child stays in the same familiar place from 0 years old until the end of primary school.

All involved parties work from the same ideas about child development. The integral child center uses a continuous learning line, so the step between, for example, primary school and child care is smaller.
