Guidance and support in navigating Dutch education
Supporting families in finding the right educational fit for their child.
From understanding your options to making confident school decisions.
Personalised guidance for international families navigating
Dutch primary education.
Every child is different. So is every school.
The Netherlands offers a wide range of educational
options, from regular Dutch schools and international
schools to newcomers programmes, Montessori schools,
Dalton schools, Steiner schools and more.
For international families, it can be difficult to
understand the differences and determine which
environment will help a child thrive.
As an orthopedagogist, I help families look beyond
rankings and reputation and focus on what matters most:
Finding the right educational fit for their child.
Guidance based on education and experience.
My name is Daphne and I am an orthopedagogist
with experience in Dutch primary education as well
as special primary education (SBO).
Through my work with children, families and schools,
I have developed extensive knowledge of the Dutch
education system and the factors that contribute to
a successful school placement.
I help international families better understand
their options and make confident educational decisions
for their children.
