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, including those who need extra care. ViaViela gives children room to discover, so they can take the lead in their own development and grow up with self-confidence into an independent, unique individual.
Pedagogical vision
ViaViela works according to the four basic pedagogical objectives of Prof. J.M.A. Riksen Walraven: providing emotional security, offering opportunities for personal competence, offering opportunities for social competence, and transmitting values and norms. These basic objectives are translated into three core values: secure attachment, attention to the uniqueness of the child, and talent development. Our childminders (gastouders) are supported with theoretical deepening, pedagogical newsletters, an observation instrument 'This is me!', and a telephone parenting helpline for parents.
