What do these actually mean? What are the benefits? What is the difference and why do you choose one of these school types?","inhoud":"<h3>what are broad schools?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of a broad school is to connect the different parts of your child&#8217;s day better and work more efficiently together.<\/p>\n<h3>what is an integral child center?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>differences between broad school and integral child center<\/h3>\n<p>The main difference between broad schools and integral child centers is the organization. A broad school works with several independent parties, while an integral child center has all services under one management.<br \/>\nwhy choose a broad school or integral child center?<br \/>\nThere are some benefits when you choose a broad school or integral child center education:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your child stays in a familiar place during the school day and when moving from day care to school<\/li>\n<li>School and care match better because they work from the same ideas about child development<\/li>\n<li>For cooperation with different parties, there is usually a large offer of expertise and support available for your child<\/li>\n<li>Communication is often simpler because fewer communication channels are used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>education in a broad school or integral child center<\/h3>\n<p>Every broad school or integral child center teaches in a different way.
