Our purpose: a resilient society for a better world
With the right foundation, a generation has the ability to create a future-proof society.
Our vision: children shape the world of tomorrow
Our childcare settings are like a mini society where children discover the world in a fun, safe and trusted environment. Together with peers, they develop important skills for their role in the world of tomorrow. This is how we lay the foundation today for a society where equal opportunity, social cohesion and sustainability are the norm.
Our mission: preparing every child for the future through play
During the critical years of childhood (0-12 years), we give children the best possible start in life. We encourage children to develop and discover their talents. To care for themselves, each other, and the world around them. Every child at their own pace and in their own way. Partou children participate and let their voices be heard in a respectful, empathetic, and inclusive way.
Our ambition: the best-in-class partner in child development
Partou aims to be the best-in-class partner in childdevelo pment, for children, parents, staff, partners and other stakeholders. We work hard every day to make our childcare more valuable. We do this for and with our colleagues, the children, their parents, schools, local authorities and our partners, and by encouraging each other, learning from each other and sharing insights with each other.
Personal attention
Although we have branches almost everywhere in the Netherlands, we intentionally opt for close and familiar contact. Our members know exactly what your wishes are and what your situation at home is. This way, the child in his turn experiences the benefits of our large organisation. The educational members of staff who look after your son or daughter are, for instance, not also responsible for the paperwork, contracts, personnel affairs and IT matters. All their attention is focused on your child. And like yourself, we’re extremely proud when your child reaches another milestone or overcomes a fear. With our app we show you how your child’s day went, enabling you to join in your child’s day.
Extensive range of activities
We do our best to offer your child an exciting and fun time in our daycare. At Partou, all children have lots of fun thanks to our extensive and often surprising range of activities. Apart from daily activities such as exercise, making music, playing outside and being creative, we also make sure children of all ages are given exceptional challenges. From a classical concert for babies and tumble judo for toddlers to a djembe workshop for preschoolers and spraying graffiti for teenagers. Visiting an animal farm or staying on a campsite all summer with daycare staff are also possible. All of this is done together with educationalists, educational organisations, sports providers, musical teachers and cultural organisations. This way, your child will experience something new every day and we contribute to their development.
The quality of childcare
We want the best for your child, which is why we only employ the very best and friendliest members of staff. Our people are well-trained, very experienced and motivated. And that’s not all. We continue to invest in training and workshops for our staff. The advantage of our big organisation is that we also have a lot of specialist knowledge about, for instance, children’s development. When it comes to our activities, we work together with various experts such as Staatbosbeheer and UNICEF.
We do it together
And, of course, we would never forget about the biggest expert, namely you! We want parents to tell us about all the important matters that will ensure your child receives the best childcare. So, please, share your wishes and needs with us, preferably in a personal meeting but you can, of course, also use our app. Also, you can always voice your opinion via our continuous customer satisfaction surveys.
Our executive board
Jeanine Lemmens (managing director) and Marcello Iacono (financial director) commit themselves to the quality and continuity of KidsFoundation/Partou, day in, day out. They share their passion for this profession with approximately 9,000 colleagues, who together make sure that the children at our day nurseries and out-of-school care centres can develop optimally as well as have lots of fun.
Collaborating with Partou
We’re always open to collaboration. This would concern a collaboration in Integral Child Centre or with schools for after school care, for instance. We also like to follow initiatives from the local authorities such as a summer school in Amsterdam Zuidoost. And, of course, we're always looking for opportunities to extend our network of childcare branches.
