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. The agency recognises the uniqueness of every child and gives children space to discover, so they can take the lead in their own development and grow into confident, independent and unique individuals.
Pedagogical vision
ViaViela's pedagogical vision is based on the four basic pedagogical goals of Professor J.M.A. Riksen Walraven as stated in the Childcare Act: providing emotional security, offering opportunities for personal competence, offering opportunities for social competence, and transmitting values and norms. These basic goals are translated into three core values: secure attachment, attention to the uniqueness of the child, and talent development. The agency supports childminders with pedagogical tools, workshops, online courses, a child tracking system ('This is me!'), and a pedagogical work plan.
