VBJK

Childcare is a basic provision for children from 0 to 3 years. And for their families. VBJK supports professionals in this sector, both in group settings as in childcare at home (with a child-minder), to give the best they’ve got for quality in childcare.

A good start is half the battle. A good start in pre-primary education is very important. How can we make the transition for children, from home or from childcare to school, as good as possible? VBJK advocates for a warm and smooth transition. With a focus on care and education and attention for the child and his parents.

School-age children can also spend time in out of school care. It is their leisure time, ‘free’ time. How do they experience this time, when organised by others? How can out of school care guarantee this free time is also a fine time for children? VBJK explores new roads and possible cooperation in this area.

Parental support covers a vast area of work. It refers to all possible activities, programs and (policy) measures that families experience as being supportive. It contains many organisations, committing themselves to working with families, such as the Flemish Family Centres. VBJK helps organisations to develop expertise in cooperating, in social support and social cohesion, in parent participation, parental support and more.
