For parents
ViaViela helps you find a reliable childminder (gastouder) in your own region. We offer small-scale care in a homely atmosphere with personal attention for your child.

You will have a dedicated contact person who supports you throughout the entire process, from the first introduction to daily care. All childminders (gastouders) are qualified and receive regular visits to ensure quality and safety.
Subsidy & costs

Mission & vision
ViaViela believes in childminder (gastouder) care in a small-scale, homely environment where building a secure attachment relationship with the child comes first. Only then can children feel safe and begin to explore the world. We recognise the uniqueness of every child and all children are welcome. ViaViela gives children room to discover, so they can take the lead in their own development and grow up with confidence into independent, unique individuals.
Pedagogical vision
ViaViela's pedagogical policy is based on the four pedagogical core objectives of Prof. J.M.A. Riksen Walraven: providing emotional security, developing personal competence, developing social competence, and transferring values and norms. These objectives are translated into three core values: secure attachment, attention to the uniqueness of the child, and talent development. Childminders (gastouders) are supported with theoretical deepening, pedagogical newsletters, observation tools and a telephone parenting helpline to put this vision into practice.
