About Kinderopvang Huizen

Stichting Kinderopvang Huizen (SKH) is a social enterprise that provides care for children from 0 to 12 years old in Huizen, Laren, Blaricum and Eemnes without profit motive. There are 4 daycare centers, 10 locations for after-school care and 10 for toddler care.

The following vision is followed:

”Childcare Huizen encourages children and employees to develop themselves.”

This is possible in an environment where they can be themselves, with room for individuality and initiative. Children and employees discover where their talents lie and what makes them happy.

In strong connection with parents and partners, children develop into self-confident individuals. Employees develop further as pedagogical professionals with pleasure in their work.

And parents… they combine family and work with a good feeling.”

In addition, SKH works according to the principles of co-management and with the following core values:

• Development-oriented;
• enthusiastic involvement;
