Our School
De Klimboom is een kindcentrum voor dagopvang van 0 tot 13 jarigen en biedt de Bestse bevolking primair ‘algemeen bijzonder’ onderwijs aan: De school is een neutrale school, d.w.z. niet speciaal aan één levensbeschouwing of geloof gebonden. Het team van het kindcentrum nodigt u van harte uit om de verschillende pagina’s van deze site te bekijken.

Vision of learning and education
A warm educational climate: well-being comes first!
De Klimboom
The team
We want our children to enjoy coming to school: success experiences every day for every child!
We focus not only on teaching factual knowledge, but also on encouraging the skills with which children can increase their knowledge independently. Attention to music, art, dance and expression should also be included. We think it is important that the children learn a lot about the world in which they live and that treating it well (environment) is a major task. Reflection with each other is important: children learn to reflect on their own learning and in doing so may and dare to make choices.

Femke
The most beautiful thing you can become is yourself!

Lisette
Be unique you. Excel, shine and be colorful.

Start the day with a dance, start the day with a smile. He who looks cheerful in the morning, he smiles all day!

Leave request
Children who turn four years old may attend school; once a child turns five, he or she is subject to compulsory education. Regular requests come from parents/caregivers to give their child an extra day off or an extra vacation outside the regular school vacations.
Children of compulsory school age are not allowed to take vacations outside the established school vacations. The Compulsory Education Act states that your child must attend school when education is provided. Pupils may therefore never simply stay away from school. In some cases, however, an exception to this rule is possible.
In the school guide these exceptions are listed.
Verlof dient altijd schriftelijk te worden aangevraagd d.m.v. het formulier ‘Aanvraag bijzonder verlof’. Dit formulier kunt u op school bij de conciërge halen of downloaden van deze site:

Childcare
Looking for day care, preschool or out of school care? We would like to welcome you and your child(ren) to our childcare at Kindcentrum De Klimboom on the Paardenhei in Best.
We offer care for children aged 0-4 years in a baby group (0-2 years) and a toddler group (2-4 years). Toddlers can also take advantage of our preschool program. During school weeks, they can play and explore with other toddlers two mornings a week from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. using theme-based activities.
For school-aged children ages 4-13, we offer bso before and after school. During vacation weeks and study days, we are of course also there for your child. And vacations wouldn't be vacations without lots of super fun activities!
Younger children are cared for at Kindcentrum De Klimboom. Children aged 7-8 or older are cared for at our location on Gildelaan (near the athletic club).
For more information on our rates, visit www.korein.nl/tarieven.
Do you have another question? If so, please contact the Customer Advice Department. Send an e-mail to [email protected] or call 040 – 294 89 95.
Children who are comfortable in their own skin develop optimally. We consider contributing to this our most important task. By creating a warm atmosphere with plenty of personal attention. And just as important: by starting from what children can do themselves, no matter how small they are. We give your child the space to invent and discover in their own way. To clamber and climb. To take initiative. To fall down once and get up again. To laugh together. And especially to color outside the lines. Because we believe that your child will benefit from this.
You see them grow at Korein.
Participation council
Kindcentrum De Klimboom has a participation council, MR for short. This council consists of 6 people: three teachers and three parents. Both sections (staff and parents) have the right to consent and / or advise on various topics such as personnel policy, school plan, school guide, vacation planning, housing and spending of the parental contribution. The management asks the MR for advice on these matters before making final decisions.
The Participation Council (MR) focuses on the collective interests of employees, students and parents. In order to bring issues to the attention of the MR, it is of course useful to know who the members of the Participation Council are. We would like to introduce ourselves!
In this folder you can read more about the goals of the MR.
Anyone who would like more information about the MR or would like to bring an issue to the MR's attention can speak to one of the members or send an email to [email protected]
