This initiative complements the existing 'Dit ben ik' booklets and was developed in close collaboration with childcare workers, kindergarten teachers, parents, and various welfare partners. The kit includes a combination of storybooks, games, and a parent guide filled with practical information.
In addition to play materials, the guide offers concrete tips to help familiarize children with the new environment, such as visiting the classroom beforehand or practicing with school supplies. The kit is available not only through schools but also via childminders and daycare centers, where parents frequently ask questions about their child's development.
The project highlights the importance of cooperation between all partners surrounding the child, including the Huis van het Kind. Parents are encouraged to reach out to teachers or other support services with any questions, as starting school is a process that parents and children navigate together.
