We also learned Dec. 14 from the government that all child care centers are legally required to close from Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020, through at least Friday, Jan. 15, 2021.
We offer emergency care during this period only to parents working in a crucial occupation and to children for whom customization is needed due to special problems or a difficult home situation. The list of crucial professional groups can be found here.
What does this mean for our customers?
- You and your partner, if any, are not employed in a crucial occupation as determined by the government:
- The shelter is closed, at least through Friday, Jan. 15, 2021;
- By default, we will sign your child(ren) out through this date. The missed days cannot be exchanged.
- On instructions from the government, please simply pay the bill for child care fees. You will be fully compensated for your childcare costs, partly by the government and partly by Kinderopvang Huizen.
- You and/or your partner, if any, are employed in a crucial occupation as determined by the government:
-
- You are entitled to emergency care for the number of contracted days per week; these do not have to be your regular days.
