At Korelon you are not a number, but a person! We strive to ensure your child can stay with the same childminder (gastouder) for as long as possible, preferably for all the years that care is needed. We offer Christian childminders who are themselves Christian and live this out in their lives. Our staff are trained and can answer your questions, and we even have our own orthopedagogist for parenting questions and a health coach who advises on exercise and healthy nutrition. We have made BASIS agreements to ensure relationships remain good, with agreements about payment, illness, changes in care and house rules. Financially everything is well arranged with an online hours registration system, fixed direct debit dates and collective insurance.
